Situation
The British Department for Transport has made a proposal to create an effective
regulation to prevent PRMs (persons with reduced mobility) from facing either
refusal of carriage or additional charges for assistance. The regulations
would transfer responsibility for the provision of PRM assistance to airport
managing bodies and airlines. However, three possible outcomes have been
identified:
Option 1 – support the proposed regulation.
Option 2 – support the proposal but with an amendment to allow airlines
to opt out.
Option 3 – oppose the proposal.
