At Open Road Access (ORA), we believe air travel should be accessible, safe, and dignified for everyone. Yet for many disabled passengers, flying remains fraught with challenges—from mishandled mobility aids to insufficient staff training and outdated accessibility standards. These barriers highlight the urgent need for meaningful change in the aviation industry.
To address these critical issues, ORA recently hosted a groundbreaking webinar in collaboration with the Rights on Flights campaign. The event brought together industry leaders, accessibility advocates, and members of the disabled community to discuss practical solutions for improving air travel for disabled passengers. Featuring insights from experts like Christopher Wood MBE, Martyn Sibley, and our co-founder David Dew-Veal, the session aimed to shape a roadmap toward a more inclusive future. Please see the recording from this session here.
