New Delhi, April 16 -- The government is planning to revise accessibility guidelines at airports to limit free wheelchair facility only to senior citizens, with those below the age of 60 years likely becoming subject to new conditions to avail the service.
According to officials aware of the matter, the changes have been driven by complaints by air travellers of wheelchair shortages and of shoddy equipment.
They may also need to pay a nominal fee if they require assistance to reach boarding gates, an official said, adding that the service will remain free for those above the age of 60. P4
