The Air Carrier Access Act prohibits discrimination in air transportation by air carriers against qualified individuals with physical or mental delays. It applies only to air carriers that provide regularly scheduled services for hire to the public. Requirements address a wide range of issues including boarding, assistance and certain accessibility features in newly built aircraft and new or

altered airport facilities. People may enforce rights under the Air Carrier Access Act by filing a complaint with the U.S. Department of Transportation, or by bringing a lawsuit in Federal court. For more information or to file a complaint, contact:
