ODO’s first AIRLINE SYMPOSIUM brought together 33 airline representatives from around the U.S. to Chicago to discuss two important issues to travelers with disabilities -- safe stowage of scooters and wheelchairs, and maintaining high standards among contract workers who assist passengers with disabilities get to the gate and board the aircraft. Thirteen airlines participated in the 2-day event co-sponsored by the Air Transport Association. ODO staff shared the results and solutions from four years of research on these issues, as airline representatives contributed best practices to the group. A future symposium will concentrate on consumer education.
