Air travel should be enjoyable and accessible for all, and discrimination against disabled passengers is completely unacceptable.

Government has been clear with the aviation industry that it must provide the best possible service, including ensuring disabled passengers receive the support they require.

UK aviation operates in the private sector, and it would not be for the UK government to mandate use of body worn cameras by airline staff.
