From John Morris, WheelchairTravel.org, June 1, 2023
Buckle up and prepare for some big news!
Delta Flight Products, a subsidiary of Delta Air Lines that was “established to re-think aircraft interiors” has announced its backing of the Air4All wheelchair securement system on commercial jets — the company plans to unveil its design prototype at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany next week.
Chris Wood, a former Chillie Chats contributor in accessible travel advocacy, is a partner in the Air4All seating product. Last year, he spoke to us about his design innovation.
With the announcement that Air4All will debut in Hamburg, my friend John Morris of WheelchairTravel.org will be there to offer critical reporting on this product, its advancements, features and opportunities for improvement should and will come from within the disability community. John said, “I look forward to seeing, touching, and testing the Air4All system myself, and sharing my insights with each of you.
Due to the importance of this moment — seriously, a major global airline has invested big bucks in bringing a wheelchair securement space to life (!!!) — his coverage will be open to all WheelchairTravel.org readers and newsletter subscribers, both paid and unpaid. That said, if you’d like to support my reporting during this last-minute trip to Hamburg (and the exceedingly high hotel room rates!), you can do so by upgrading to a paid newsletter subscription and making a donation through PayPal.
I look forward to sharing the big news with you next week, live from the floor of Aircraft Interiors EXpo in Hamburg, Germany.”
We will look forward to John’s reports next week.
