Soon thereafter the Department established three subcommittees to address: (1) Ticketing practices and seating accommodations; (2) stowage of assistive devices; and (3) assistance at airports and on aircraft and related training of carrier personnel and contractors. The Subcommittees submitted reports with recommendations to the ACAA Advisory Committee members for their consideration.
