“It’s the system that’s the problem”. How airlines are failing people with disability

COVID closed off air travel for most Australians but you could argue that for people with disability, it’s never really been open. From wheelchair user limits, to inconsistent policies and inaccessible public transport, the disability community is increasingly isolated and unable to participate in society.

This program explores how people with disability feel about flying and some of the ways airlines discriminate against people with disability.

In this episode of ‘Let Us In!’, the ABC’s Kurt Fearnley and Sarah Shands cover the issues with guests including PIAC Principal Solicitor Michelle Cohen.
