These ramps also benefit parents travelling with children because they eliminate the risk of falling from steep aircraft stairs, and allow all other passengers a step-free boarding process. Solutions like height adjustable boarding ramps and portable passenger bridges are common sight at a growing number of airports across the globe.īoarding ramps allow wheelchair users to remain in their wheelchair up to the plane’s door like in a standard airbridge. In its Access Plan, Australia’s capital airport pledges to “continue to consult with local access advocacy groups to maintain continuous improvements and facilitation at the airport terminal for persons with disabilities.” "If I have a violent spasm while on the high-loader I could fall off it."
