Accessible Accommodation’s Campaign Urging Airlines to Allow Wheelchairs on PlanesAccessible Accommodation, a leading advocate for accessibility and inclusion, has seen renewed momentum for our campaign to call upon airlines in Australia to allow wheelchair users to bring their mobility devices on board flights. The campaign, supported by a change petition with over 31,000 signatures, aims to address the challenges faced by individuals with mobility challenges and physical disabilities when travelling by air. The renewed momentum follows a working prototype of the design, demonstrated by Delta Flight Products (DFP) at the Aircraft Interiors Expo (AIX) in Hamburg, Germany, a symposium spotlighting aeroplane cabin innovations.Video demonstration:https://youtu.be/Bt5lQffdgEABy John Morris Wheelchairtravel.org https://youtu.be/Bt5lQffdgEAThe petition highlights the fact that people with mobility challenges and physical disabilities possess a deep passion for travel, just like any other individual. Airline travel is an integral part of their overall travel experience, and they aspire to use their electric or manual wheelchairs throughout their journey. Allowing passengers to bring their wheelchairs into the cabin not only reduces the risk of damage to their expensive equipment but also alleviates the stress and discomfort associated with transferring to their seats.Despite acknowledging that there are alternative approaches to address this issue, little has been done to implement a practical solution in Australia. However, this innovative prototype has been picked up internationally by CNN,  AXIOS, CBS NEWS, SMITHSONIAN MAGAZINE.This campaign serves as a call to action for airlines based in Australia to proactively address the needs of wheelchair users and eliminate the existing barriers.
