  American Airlines Policy Banning Power Wheelchairs From Flights

  Posted by Leah Leilani on November 3, 2020 at 4:30 pm

  American Airlines has instituted a new policy banning power wheelchairs that weigh over 300-400 pounds from boarding 130 of their flights across America. Air travel has never been easy for those who use mobility aids but this new policy will restrict travel even more for  people with disabilities.

  Click here to view a list of airlines categorized by state that power wheelchair users will no longer be able to fly.

  Here you can submit a complaint to an airline of your choice about issues regarding disability access.

  What are your thoughts on this? Will you file a complaint to American Airlines?
