Accessibility Enhancement Accreditation Program

Access to transport is a recognized right for all people, but today there are still significant difficulties for people with disabilities and reduced mobility—including elderly—to access air transport services. This prevalence is expected to increase due to demographic trends and increases in chronic health conditions, among other factors. The World Health Organization estimated a total of 1.3 billion people—or one in six people worldwide—experiencing significant disability by the end of 2022.

ACI World’s Accessibility Enhancement Accreditation (AEA) program provides a continuous path of improvement for airports in the area of accessibility for passengers with disabilities.

It is designed to help airports measure, evaluate, and improve their accessibility management and culture, and it is the only international assessment/accreditation program dedicated to airport accessibility to passengers with disabilities.
