ACAA (Air Carrier Access Act)

The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) is a U.S. law that prohibits airlines from discriminating against passengers with disabilities. It ensures travelers with disabilities have equal access to air travel, including services like accessible seating, assistance with boarding and deplaning, and accommodating medical devices. Airlines must provide these services without extra charges and cannot refuse transportation based solely on disability. The ACAA promotes fair and non-discriminatory air travel, ensuring all passengers with disabilities can fly with dignity and independence.
