"Proposed Rules to Enhance Air Travel Accessibility for Wheelchair Users"

The Biden administration has proposed new regulations aimed at improving air travel for people with disabilities, particularly those in wheelchairs. The rules would make it easier to hold airlines accountable for mishandling passengers' wheelchairs and would require additional training for workers assisting disabled passengers. The proposed changes are part of a broader effort to enhance the flying experience for disabled travelers, following earlier moves such as the publication of a bill of rights for airline passengers with disabilities and new regulations requiring more commercial aircraft to have accessible bathrooms.
