evidence: People with disabilities often experience difficulties getting appropriate accessibility accommodations on airplanes and airports with wheelchairs and other assistive technologies often geting lost or damaged. As pandemic-related travel protections are being lifted coupled with the fact that according to The World Health Organization (WHO), 15 percent of the global population have some type of disability, airline accessibility should be a priority for all airline carriers. But to our dismay, this does not appear to be the case. [...] In response to the longstanding issue of air travel inaccessibility, IATA released a Passenger Accessibility Operations Manual to help airports and airlines "efficiently accommodate passengers with disabilities." [...] The ADA protects travelers from discrimination and harm in the airport while the Air Carrier Access Act covers passengers once they board the plane.
