The Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA) regulations have been updated to
incorporate new requirements. They will become enforceable May 13, 2009. To

Key changes include:
  a.. Coverage extended to foreign carriers;
  b.. New requirements for airport and aircraft accessibility and changes in
airport services including reservations, facilities, in-flight and aircraft
acquisitions;
  c.. New requirements for passengers who use respiratory assistive devices
including 48 -  hour notification of use in advance of flight;
  d.. New guidelines on provision of effective communication for passengers
who are deaf or hard-of hearing;  
  e.. New requirements for passengers traveling with emotional support
animals or psychiatric service animals to provide documentation and give
48-hours' notice before flight. 
Call your regional ADA Center at 1-800-949-4232 for questions on the ACAA,
the Americans with Disabilities Act and other disability-related laws.
