Abstract

Accessibility in airports has been an important topic over the past five years. The population continues to age and use of assistive devices and technology create easier access to air travel. There are many obstacles to access but regulations on design and architectural standards have increased awareness and opportunity. This article includes ideas and solutions that some airports have instituted and also identifies some shortcomings within the aviation industry. People with disabilities and older adult populations continue to grow, and stresses on services within the airport to accommodate people with accessibility needs will require airports to always have access included in talks for future accommodations and services.
