New policy on Air Travel for Persons with Disabilities - 2008

Greetings from AccessAbility!

Following the recently released ‘Civil Aviation Requirements – Carriage by Air of Persons with Disabilities and/or Persons with Reduced Mobility’ by the office of Director General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), it is important that the rights conferred to disabled passengers or persons with reduced mobility are clearly understood and further disseminated in a simpler format.

We at AccessAbility have taken the initiative of compiling a synopsis of the CAR document, to inform and guide disabled passengers of their rights.

The synopsis “Air Travel – Know your Rights” is available at http://accessability.co.in/AirTravel-Know-Your-Rights.pdf as a free download and may be circulated further.


The complete CAR Document (Section 3, Air Transport Series-M, Part-1) as released by the DGCA on 2nd May 2008 is available for viewing at

Read this document on Scribd: Air Transport Series-M, Part-1 - D3M-M1

We hope you find the synopsis useful and will be happy to provide any further information as may be required. I also request you to forward this information further
