Toronto airport gets accessibility certification

Paul Heymont 12/13/225:00 AM

Toronto's Pearson International Airport has become the first airport in North America and only the second in the world to be accredited under the Accessibility Enhancement Accreditation program of Airports Council International.

The program is designed to help airports measure, evaluate, and improve their accessibility management and culture. It is the only international assessment or accreditation program dedicated to airports' accessibility to passengers with disabilities.

The program is based on existing international best practices and recommendations, including those in the ACI Airport and Persons with Disability Handbook, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), and Universal Design concepts.

Pearson joins Istanbul's new airport, which received the first accreditation earlier.
