Aviation: Disability

Asked by Edward MorelloLiberal DemocratWomen and EqualitiesTabled Answered 19 March 2025UIN 903266

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, whether she has had discussions with the Secretary of State for Transport on improving the accessibility of air travel for people with disabilities.

Answered by Sir Stephen Timms

Aviation needs to be accessible so everyone can travel with dignity and ease. The Department for Transport’s Aviation Accessibility Task and Finish Group was launched in November. I look forward to seeing its recommendations for improving aviation accessibility.
