<p>The rights of disabled persons and those with reduced mobility when travelling
by air are important to the Government, and we are keen to see improvements happen
where necessary. We welcome innovative ideas being discussed, such as the campaign
“Flying Disabled” that champions wheelchair access to aircraft. The campaign is in
early stages, with the industry looking further into the proposal. The Government
will follow this work closely.</p><p> </p><p>More widely, the Civil Aviation Authority
(CAA) is the national enforcement body for disabled passenger rights legislation in
the UK. They work closely with the industry and monitor their performance to ensure
the service the passengers receive is of high quality. The CAA publishes a report
annually in which the UK airports are ranked as “very good”, “good” or “poor” in relation
to the services and assistance they provide to disabled passengers and those with
reduced mobility.</p>
