Canada's largest airline said the move is to allow greater flexibility to customers who use mobility aids or travel with adaptive sports equipment. "Having this policy clearly defined means people with disabilities can travel, without having to explain or justify our needs," said Meghan Hines, chair of Air Canadas accessibility advisory committee, in a statement Friday. "As both a traveller with a disability and a Para athlete, it is meaningful to see Air Canada recognize that the equipment we travel with.., are extensions of our bodies, not an extra piece of luggage." Air Canada said eligible items can include any combination of personal mobility aids, adaptive sports equipment, personal or patient lifts and similar transfer devices. Some passengers with disabilities still struggling on Air Canada flights If a device is too large to travel on the same aircraft as the customer, Air Canada said cargo will transport it within Canada, free of charge. "This policy recognizes that accessibility needs do not look the same for everyone and that people with disabilities should be able to travel with the equipment they need without added uncertainty or having to advocate for an exception," Hines said.
