Nuovi diritti per i disabili che si spostano in aereo

Fino ad oggi non esisteva alcuna legislazione vincolante a protezione delle persone con disabilità nei loro viaggi aerei. Una persona poteva essere rifiutata all’imbarco o venir negata l’assistenza disabled because while some airlines had established a quota system that defines the maximum number of disabled passengers per flight regardless of the type of disability.
"The airline industry has been very reluctant to accept this legislation that protects the rights of disabled passengers. With the new regulation should realize that, besides being in the presence of fundamental rights, there is an economic opportunity for the whole industry, "he added, Vardakastanis.
The new Rules adopted in 2006 by the European Ministers of Transport will prohibit to deny boarding or booking a flight because the disabled. Passengers with disabilities should receive assistance in any time of travel at no additional cost and responsibility of the service will be in the hands of airport operators. Another important activity of the Regulation will be the training of all staff who come into contact with the passengers.
Despite the intense pressure made by EDF Regulation leaves some possibility of refusing to board for "security reasons" not very clear or defined. Although these safety reasons must be shown correctly, if they are established at national level, can become major barriers for disabled passengers "A security policy should be harmonized across the European or international law, otherwise a disabled passenger potrà partire per raggiungere un paese ma non ritornare al proprio a causa di differenti legislazioni applicate. Armonizzare i criteri significa anche facilitare la consapevolezza, per le persone disabili, dei loro diritti ed inoltre renderebbe l’intero sistema più trasparente per tutti”, ha continuato il Presidente dell’ EDF.
L’intero regolamento diventerà efficace a decorrere dal 26 luglio 2008 ed applicato direttamente negli aeroporti europei e dalle compagnie aeree.
