Emergencies can happen to anyone. But for people with disabilities, the risks are often greater. When emergency plans fail to include everyone, it can result in people being left without access to shelter, transportation, communication, or life-saving services. These are not just oversights—they can become violations of civil rights.

These measures are designed to ensure passengers with disabilities can fly safely and with dignity.
