Air Carrier Access Act

The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) is a U.S. law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in air travel. It requires airlines to provide equal access to their services, allowing passengers with disabilities to travel without facing barriers. This includes provisions for accessible seating, assistance with boarding, and accommodating service animals. The ACAA ensures that airlines meet specific accessibility standards, aiming to make air travel more inclusive for everyone, regardless of their physical limitations. It underscores the commitment to equal treatment and support for travelers with disabilities in the aviation industry.
