Airline passenger news and views

Following Mr Keat's letter, I decided to do some investigations and am astounded at how we (by which I mean able-bodied people) seem to have managed to ignore this issue.
Clearly, the airlines do not want to sacrifice revenue earning seats to make room for larger toilets and the floor space that would be necessary for proper wheelchair access. They respond to regulations and not empathy with their customers.
Sadly, the regulatory initiative is somewhat slow coming. In 2003 the Access to Air Travel for Disabled People - Code of Practice was published by the US DoT stating that " all wide bodied aircraft (and some single aisle aircraft) should be equipped with at least one spacious lavatory catering for disabled people with a range of disabilities". I can find little evidence of that code of practice having been implemented.
The one beacon of hope appears to be Singapore Airlines which does seem to have listened to its customers and provided highly rated disabled facilities. So, if one can do it then they all can - and clearly should.
