In a joint statement, American, Delta, United and other major air carriers are committing to a series of new steps to improve travel for people with “mobility, cognitive and social disabilities.”
Seven of the nation’s passenger airlines are part of a new pledge organized through the industry trade group Airlines for America to increase accessibility in plane travel.
Specifically, the airlines say they will each create a passenger accessibility advisory group to work with the disability community to improve policies and operations. They will also work to improve passenger transfers and their handling of wheelchairs and other mobility aids, enhance disability training for employees and back further study and development of accessibility features.
