Why It’s Crucial to Ask, Not Assume, When It Comes to Disabilities When it comes to supporting individuals with disabilities, one of the biggest mistakes we can make is assuming what they can or cannot do without consulting them first. Disabilities are not defined by limitations—they are defined by how individuals navigate and adapt the world around them. Rather than deciding for someone what they need, take the time to ask. Everyone’s experience is different, and so are their preferences. By opening up a conversation, we show respect and give individuals the space to express what accommodations or adjustments will help them feel comfortable and empowered. At Disability Aviation And Maritime, we pride ourselves on listening to our travelers and honoring their personal needs. We don’t make assumptions—we work together to create the best possible travel experience. Let’s remember: People with disabilities are the experts of their own lives. The more we listen, the more we create inclusive spaces for all. #InclusionMatters #DisabilityRights #Empathy #InclusiveTravel #ListenAndRespect

Response to Oversimplified Claims on Air Travel Accessibility At Disability Aviation And Maritime, we are committed to improving the travel experience for passengers with sensory processing conditions and additional needs. However, we strongly disagree with the oversimplified and emotionally charged portrayal of accessibility challenges in air travel. While we acknowledge the difficulties wheelchair users face, equating their experience to being treated as "luggage" is both hyperbolic and dismissive of the ongoing efforts by airlines to comply with regulations such as the Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA). The separation of wheelchair users from their devices is due to engineering constraints, not discrimination. Although incidents of wheelchair damage are concerning, they are not as widespread as implied—millions of flights operate annually, and only a small fraction result in reported damage, with airlines required to compensate for losses. The idea of dedicated wheelchair spaces onboard, while well-intentioned, does not fully consider the economic and safety complexities involved in retrofitting aircraft. Addressing accessibility challenges requires a balanced approach that includes improving handling procedures, increasing accountability, and exploring innovative solutions. Rather than framing these issues solely as systemic discrimination, we believe that advocacy should focus on practical and collaborative solutions that enhance inclusivity while maintaining the operational realities of air travel. Meaningful change comes from working together—airlines, advocacy groups, engineers, and passengers—to create a more accessible and sustainable future for all.
