Happy new year everyone!
Today’s blog entry looks at the DOT final rule issued last month on ensuring safe accommodation for air travelers with disabilities using wheelchairs. We previously blogged on the proposed rule in the blog entry on March 18, 2024, here. This blog entry is set up similarly to that blog…
