Listen now: 40,000 Feet podcast #14: accessibility with Mary Doyle, plus the RedCabin summit

Making cabins, seats and the passenger experience more accessible isn’t just the right thing to do: it’s increasingly mandated by governments and their regulators.

The industry is making progress, with numerous impressive products breaking cover or returning to AIX this year — plus upcoming discussions and roundtables at the RedCabin summit this week.

In this episode:

  • why Jamco’s Metamorphic Lavatory is so innovative for a range of accessibility needs
  • the social factors around implementing Airbus’ U Suite wheelchair securement space
  • Unum’s grab bars and the benefits of designing in passive accessibility from the start
  • plus, Mary’s upcoming roundtable, and our RedCabin advice

And don’t miss The Up Front’s RedCabin Reading List ahead of the event!
