CAN IT AVOID TURBULENCE?
All Wheels Up Founder and President Michele Erwin says momentum is building, evidenced by several airline equipment manufacturers visiting with her during the Aircraft Interiors Expo, the world’s largest aircraft interiors trade show.
She also notes that aircraft
manufacturers, such as Airbus, have been attending All Wheels Up’s conferences.
Keeping the momentum going
Just as MDA advocates were key in
shaping the provisions of the FAA Reauthorization and new DOT rules, they play
a significant role in telling the airline industry and lawmakers that their
work is not done.
“MDA stands ready to work with all our champions to drive positive policy change for travelers affected by neuromuscular disease,” says Shannon Wood, Director of Disability Policy at MDA.
She encourages everyone to write to their elected officials and the DOT to keep
building momentum for more inclusive and safer travel.
“Safety and dignity for wheelchair
users is a basic right, but it also opens up travel for people with
disabilities, which is good for them, good for the industry, and good for
business,” Michele says.
