In November 2013, AAPR applauded the new regulations promulgated by the U.S. Department of Transportation designed to make air travel more accessible for passengers with disabilities. The regulations will ensure equal access to airline websites and automated airport kiosks, as well as improve certain wheelchair stowage requirements.

"We're not only talking the talk about greater accessibility, we're walking the walk," said Brandon M. Macsata, Executive Director of the Association for Airline Passenger Rights, of the partnership with sitecues by Ai Squared. "Once again, AAPR is leading by example taking the necessary steps to ensure that its website is more accessible. We're humbled by the partnership with Ai Squared, which revealed needed improvements on our website."

"This partnership demonstrates how airlines can offer their passengers a simple and intuitive website experience that will make online travel arranging more accessible and enjoyable for individuals with disabilities, especially boomers and seniors. With one simple change to their website each traveler will have the ability to customize the user experience to their specific needs, making it easier to read, hear and complete bookings. It's like giving a free assistive technology to every website visitor." said Marc Zablatsky, Vice President and General Manager of Ai Squared.
