Aviation Accessibility Task and Finish Group

The Aviation Accessibility Task and Finish Group has been established to develop practical and achievable actions for industry, government, or the regulator, to improve aviation accessibility.

The Aviation Accessibility Task and Finish Group brings together industry and consumer representatives to:

  1. Assess existing and emerging evidence on key issues and barriers to air travel for disabled and less mobile passengers 鈥� identifying priority areas.
  2. Develop practical and achievable actions that will lead to improvements for disabled passengers that can be implemented by the aviation industry, or where appropriate, by government or regulator.
  3. Consider mechanisms for implementation and evaluation of actions.
