If Airlines Can Move Horses safely, Why Can’t They do the Same for My Wheelchair?

Peter Tonge show notes:If airlines can move horses safely by air…why can’t they do the same for my wheelchair?My guest Peter Tonge wants answers. And why not? Airline travel can be stressful for anyone, and particularly for a person with a disability. A disabled traveller has the usual concerns, such as scheduling and connections, but also the additional concern about the safety of their mobility equipment.According to Tonge, worldwide, airlines have a poor record for safely transporting mobility equipment.This can be explained that the airlines treat mobility equipment like luggage. So if your mobility equipment is damaged, you go to the lost and/pr damaged department. It is treated like a missing suitcase rather than a vital piece of medical equipment.Peter Tonge brings a broad range of experience to his work.
