Industry reviews creative air travel accessibility solutions

At the upcoming Aircraft Interiors Expo in Los Angeles, co-located with the APEX EXPO, Jetliner Cabins author and former airline industry executive, Jennifer Coutts Clay, will make a keynote presentation on accessibility, and lead a panel discussion about the challenges faced by disabled passengers and passengers with restricted mobility (PRMs).

The panelists slated to participate in this “Flying for All” discussion include PriestmanGoode head of project management Tom Lipscomb; American Airlines senior manager, customer experience, accessibility Gina Emrich; Molon Labe CEO Hank Scott; and Michele Erwin, who serves as president of nonprofit organization All Wheels Up.

In an interview with Runway Girl Network, Coutts Clay points out that there are an estimated one billion people living with disabilities, according to the United Nations World Health Organization (WHO). A growing aging population will also require help when traveling. Persons over the age of 60 reached 962 million in 2017, and that number is expected to double by 2050 to 2.1 billion.
