       FIRST DATA ON WHEELCHAIR DAMAGE BY



       AIRLINES RELEASED BY DOT





       AIR TRAVEL / MARCH 14, 2019 / BY JOHN MORRIS






        When Congress passed the FAA Reauthorization Act last year, they included a rule that requires airlines to
        report the total number of wheelchairs carried and mishandled each month. The first set of data, collected
        between December 4, 2018 and December 31, 2018, was released by the Department of Transportation in the

        February 2019 Air Travel Consumer Report.

        Over that time, a total of 701 wheelchairs and scooters were mishandled or damaged by the 12 largest U.S.

        airlines.
