DGCA Revises Air Travel Norms for Wheelchair Use

DGCA Revises Air Travel Norms for Wheelchair Use

The DGCA has changed the rules for using wheelchairs at airports.

Now, airlines can charge people who don't really need wheelchairs.

This is to make sure that wheelchairs are available for people who really need help, like those who are disabled or very old.

Some airports also have to provide special ramps or small vehicles to help wheelchair users get on and off planes.

A very old couple had a hard time traveling because the wheelchair service was not good in some airports.

The DGCA wants to make sure that wheelchair services are better and that people who need them can get help easily.

They are thinking about using new technology and better training for the people who provide this service.
