Require airlines provide spaces for passengers to stay in their wheelchairs

Require airlines provide spaces for passengers to stay in their wheelchairs — 35 signatures. Status: open.

Petition background

Require airlines to provide safe, secure spaces on planes where wheelchair users can remain in their own wheelchairs during short-haul and long-haul flights.

Additional details

I have quadriplegic cerebral palsy and use a wheelchair. When I fly, I need two people to support me. I have to be lifted into my aircraft seat because I cannot use an aisle chair. I can also slip or slide in the aircraft seat. I believe wheelchair users should be able to remain in their own wheelchairs during flights where it is safe and possible. This should apply to both short-haul and long-haul flights. Wheelchair users deserve to travel safely and with dignity.
