[blindlaw] ada and air travel

[Peter Donahue]

Good afternoon,

    The ADA does not apply to airlines. Airlines are covered by the United 
States Air Carrier Access Act, (ACAA.) I don't remember the exact numbers 
and such but if there are charges to be filed against an airline due to 
alleged discrimination against the disabled they must be brought under the 
Air Carrier Access Act, not the Americans With Disabilities Act. Here's 
hoping this puts you on the correct litigation path.
