Air Passenger Rights for Disabled People

This paper reviews recently introduced legislation on air passenger rights for people with a disability both in the European Union (EU) and the USA; looks at the benefits and potential conflicts between the two sets of rules for air travellers with a disability as well as for airports and air carriers and considers possible further steps to promote accessibility in air travel.
