WestJet ordered to scrap weight cap on power wheelchairs

WestJet's weight cap on power wheelchairs has been deemed an "undue barrier" by Canada's transport regulator, prompting the airline to lift the restriction. This decision addresses concerns that the cap was preventing some travelers with disabilities from bringing their necessary mobility devices on board. The ruling underscores the importance of accessibility in air travel, emphasizing that airlines must accommodate the needs of all passengers, including those who rely on power wheelchairs. This move is likely to improve inclusivity and ensure that travelers with disabilities can fly without undue hardship.
