NEW SINGLE-AISLE AIRPLANES WILL HAVE ACCESSIBLE LAVATORIES

U.S. DOT SECRETARY PETE BUTTIGIEG EXPLAINS THE NEW RULE IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH UNITED SPINAL ASSOCIATION CORRESPONDENT STEVE WRIGHT


Alexandra Bennewith, Vice President, Government Relations, speaks passionately about this new rule’s significance for all wheelchair users.

“As new aircraft are ordered and rolled out after 10-12 years, a lot of wheelchair users will no longer have to fear air travel, dehydrate themselves or experience the indignities or humiliation of restricted bathroom use,” she says.

“They will be able to work, visit family and friends or go on that anniversary trip that they have dreamed about for years. 

This is good news to hear today on the 33rd anniversary of the ADA.”
