We asked TAP to offer flights for all to Portugal in alliance with our WAV cars.
They said: "not interested"
Now TAP would be bankrupt without taxpayers' money.

WHEELCHAIR USERS COULD SOON BRING THEIR OWN CHAIRS ON FLIGHTS

Department of Transportation wants to keep wheelchair users in their own chairs when they fly. But the chairs and docks must meet federal air crashworthiness standards first.

Wheelchair users may be able to bring their mobility device into the cabin of a commercial aircraft under a plan being developed by U.S. authorities.

“Practically everyone who uses a wheelchair and flies including colleagues of mine here at the Department of Transportation has a troubling story about an airline experience,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg said. “Many have more than one. No other form of transportation — trains, buses, boats — forces you to give up your mobility device when you board. The same ought to be true of airlines. So, in the months and years ahead, we plan to record a new rule that will allow passengers to stay in their personal wheelchairs when they fly. We know this won’t happen overnight, but it is a goal that we have to work to fulfill.”

Airlines have had to report mishandled wheelchair and scooter data to the DOT since 2018. Last year, airlines handled 523,306 wheelchairs, or about 1,433 per day. The DOT found that 1.36 percent of those mobility devices were mishandled, or about 20 a day. In May, the most recent month with data available, airlines carried 72,332 wheelchairs and scooters, and mishandled 1,110 of them or 1.18 percent.

Keeping passengers in their wheelchairs is “one of the easiest ways to ensure that an airline will never mishandle a person’s wheelchair.”
