At INCLAVI, we’re committed to establishing benchmark standards of excellence in accessible aviation. Our vision is to ensure that passengers with disabilities and reduced mobility experience seamless support throughout their entire journey—from booking to destination arrival.
This ambitious undertaking requires transforming complex aviation ecosystems. Creating truly accessible airports demands extensive research, innovative solutions, and unprecedented collaboration among global stakeholders including airlines, accessibility consultants, academic institutions, and most importantly, travelers with diverse mobility needs themselves.
By integrating universal design principles with cutting-edge technology, we aim to not only meet basic accessibility requirements but to fundamentally reimagine air travel as an inclusive experience where every passenger travels with dignity and independence.
The Inclusive Aviation project or INCLAVI began in September 2022 and it will address the skills mismatches in the aviation sector related to the freedom of movement of persons with disabilities and accessibility requirements in line with the EC Strategy for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities 2021-2030. The project is co-funded by European Union Erasmus+ programme.
The project was born from need. We at INCLAVI want to enable smooth journeys for all air travelers. No matter what their special conditions or disabilities may be. The goal will be accomplished through rigorous cooperation between key global industry and labour market actors combined with a world-class HEI and VET consortium.
INCLAVI will design and co-create a new training curriculum utilising expertise from HEI, VET and Industry Actors to support the reskilling of aviation sector employees and key target groups who have a role in the passenger journey of PwDs from door to door. The training will address students and professionals in areas of work related to travel agencies, airports, and airlines.
