Building awareness and confidence in accessible travel with Air New Zealand
Recently, our team – Garry Stanners and Simon Clare – joined forces with Lee Taniwha from Care Upfront and Sally Barkman from Spinal Support to run a series of sessions with Air New Zealand’s front-of-house crew.
Across four workshops, we explored what travel looks like for people who use wheelchairs and mobility equipment – from the real-world challenges they face at airports to the costs, equipment, and care required to travel safely .
It was a chance to build empathy, share lived experience, and help shape a more confident, inclusive approach to supporting travellers with disabilities.
We’re proud to partner with organisations like Air New Zealand that are actively investing in accessibility and inclusion. Small changes in awareness can make a big difference in experience – and that’s something worth celebrating.
If your organisation is looking to strengthen its understanding of accessibility, our team’s always up for a conversation, please reach out.
