Since May 13, 2009, new requirements have come into effect under updated Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) regulations. Key changes include:
• Coverage is extended to foreign carriers;
• There are new requirements for airport and aircraft regarding accessibility, services such as reservations, and communication for passengers who are deaf or hard-of hearing;
• There are new requirements for passengers to give 48-hour advance notice before flight if they use respiratory assistive devices or travel with emotional support or psychiatric service animals. Travelers with such animals may also have to provide documentation.
You can find details about the changes in "An Overview of the ACAA" on this website:
