Barrier-free mobility: Slovakia as part of the European solution for inclusive transport

Passenger air transport remains one of the least accessible forms of travel for people with disabilities and reduced mobility – there is a marked gap between declared rights and practice at airports and airlines. The project develops an evidence-based framework for systematically removing barriers in passenger air transport in Slovakia.

Drawing on data collected from passengers with disabilities and air transport stakeholders, it identifies critical barriers and their causes. Its key output will be a harmonised methodology for assessing the accessibility of airports and airlines, together with a set of technical, organisational and procedural measures.
