<p>The Government recognizes the importance of airports addressing the needs of all
passengers, especially disabled passengers or those with reduced mobility. Addressing
their needs better is an important part of the new Aviation Strategy, currently under
development. The Government is also considering what more can be done to ensure that
disabled passengers and those with reduced mobility have equal access to air travel
and that their needs are met. The Government will consult on policy options to improve
accessibility in a Green Paper, due to be published by the end of the year.</p><p>
</p><p>These proposals will build on the work of the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)
to improve transparency on this issue. The CAA publishes annual reports on airports’
performance on accessibility, based on a regulatory framework it introduced to the
sector in 2014. This is used by the CAA to hold airports to account and to work closely
with those that have not reached a good standard, so that necessary improvements are
made.</p>
