The U.S. Department of Transportation's new rules mandate that airlines provide safe and dignified assistance to individuals with disabilities, establishing a new standard for air travel.
The rules aim to ensure that mobility devices checked by airlines are returned without damage, and provide clear recourse if they are lost or broken.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg emphasized that the new protections are designed to ensure that passengers using wheelchairs can travel safely and with dignity.
These steps include employee training for assisting disabled travelers, guidelines for easier deplaning, and reimbursement for delayed mobility devices.
