Ms Ethna Brogan:

No, it will remain a matter of airline policy.

In regard to wheelchair availability, again, I will ask Ms O'Brien to outline the provisions in the regulation in respect of persons with reduced mobility. There is already a regulation in place dealing with the rights of such individuals when travelling by air. The new regulation does not introduce any new rights in that regard, but it does include certain rights in respect of potential damage to equipment. In addition, it obliges airlines to provide passengers with reduced mobility with a better level of information on the rights they have at airports.
