Question 5 • Health and Wellness Education

If a disabled person is traveling by airplane and cannot enter the airplane or buckle the seatbelt without assistance, what does the Air Carrier Act require from the airline?

Answer
A
that the airline provide adaptive seating for the disabled
B
that an employee of the airline sit with the disabled person during the flight
C
that an employee of the airline assist the disabled person in preparing to take off
D
that the airline provide the person with a ticket for another flight

Explanation

The Air Carrier Access Act requires airlines to provide assistance with boarding and with getting seated, including help fastening a seatbelt when needed. It does not require the airline to provide special adaptive seating, assign an employee to sit beside the passenger, or issue a ticket for another flight. Therefore, the correct choice is that an airline employee assist the person in preparing to take off.
