Proposal:

As the number of people using the airline service has increased in the past few years,

people with disabilities and religious food concerns find it very difficult while using the aero

plane service. Therefore, it is very important that the airline service puts its eye on the people

with disabilities and religious food concerns.

My project will investigate problems and solutions for people with disabilities when

using airplane service for various purposes. In my previous project, I talked about what it takes

to be a flight attendant. In this project, I will identify and recognize the problems that people

with disabilities and religious dietary restrictions face while using the aeroplane because in the

long run, flight attendants have to face these problems and try to make the passengers

comfortable. My project focuses on vegetarians with religious dietary restrictions when it comes

to dietary restrictions. We are discussing how airlines around the world respond to vegetarian

inflight meals. My project also focuses on wheelchair passengers, finding information and good

tips from their experiences and seeing what they think, experience and how to deal with them

during the flight. I will also investigate what is happening on each airline and how its services

are impacting.

In my project, I will look at how Japanese airlines are coping with wheelchairs and

religious people flying. While previous work on this topic has focused on flight attendants, my

project focuses on aviation issues as wheelchairs and religious use aircraft. Google claims that

many of these issues are related to lack of resources. Overall, in my project, a flight attendant

who serves and responds to disability and religious dietary restrictions has more responsibility.

More people and organizations need to intervene and create a better environment.

Research Question:

It is very important for flight attendants to know the circumstance and situation of

passengers, and their required services and needs. The service is also a major issue in the

aviation industry. Therefore, there are many things that humans can not understand unless they

have to face the problem on their own. So, it is important for me to know about this problem

because i will certainly have to face this problem after my dream to be a flight attendant comes

true. So, my research focuses on what do people who have physical disabilities and religious

problems have to look for while using the airline service.

demand the necessary services Blancaflor has been able to do so. If you have any

concerns before boarding, contact the airline and check in advance to reduce any

concerns about boarding. This writer presents a number of problems and solutions and

relies on and can rely on information from agencies such as the Americans with

The purpose of this study was to better understand the problems of using aircraft with

wheelchair disability. So, this site uses a man named John Morris as an example to

describe how people with disabilities feel and experience traveling by plane. He feels he

is discriminated every time he gets on an airplane. For example, when you normally

reach the end of a flight, you collect things, get off the plane, and get to the baggage

claim, but he is humiliating that he cannot go anywhere until his crew allows him. I feel

Even now that the law has changed, discrimination can still be felt. This source will help

you better understand the American Disability Act and the challenges of using airplanes

for people with disabilities. The history of the Americans with Disabilities Act is also

clearly explained and can be useful for essay themes. This is an empirical source and a

major source. Since this study was created based on real experience, it is up to date since

it was released in 2018 and has a wealth of solid and very detailed information as it is a

real experience of John Morris' experience.

This study focused on the issue of in-flight meals when using airplanes for religious

issues. Especially vegetarian. When it comes to religious food, there are still many

vegetarians, so I will vegan this site first to detail which types of vegetarians are

available. Plain vegan meal and lacto-ovo meal are just as easy to understand as

vegetarian lacto-ovo meal eats eggs and dairy as described in this comparison. It will give

you a clue as to what kind of meal you should offer. The instructions below describe

which airlines offer which vegetarian dishes. This is very important for people with

religious dietary restrictions. And Las Vegas Airlines: Portuguese Vegan, VLML,

VOML, AVML, VJML, RVML, Flu This is a big difference. It is also reliable

information as it also describes the risk of hunger ris for other restricted passengers, has

been updated since it was released in 2009, has a lot of comparisons by airlines and very

detailed information.

comfortable. The Air Access Act (ACAA) study says it is a very important law for people

with disabilities and is a law you need to know to exercise your rights A second person

has read the full ACAA I say You are using a wheelchair, using a manual chair, and need

aisle chairs and assistance to get on and off the aircraft. He talks concretely about what

kind of service should be provided. Knowing these issues is very important for flight

attendants. This is quite reliable because it is an interview with a disabled person who is

actually traveling in a wheelchair This is a major and academic source because it contains

a lot of real information Contains information you can do. As published in 2018, the time

spent on this project is about problems and solutions for people with disabilities when

using aircraft.

The study was also a clever way for Japanese airlines to discuss and deal with the

disabled. This article covers All NIPPON A IRLINE (ANA) as a Japanese airline. ANA

states that it is committed to disseminating disability throughout the company and making

a solid, actionable commitment to improving access. ANA prioritizes accessibility and is

working to set high standards for services. This is debating how the Japanese airline in

question will respond to the physically challenged. ANA is included in the FTSE4Good

Index and FTSE Blossom Japan Index, so this information is certain. In addition, since it

is the information of 2019, it can be said that it is the latest and still reliable.

This article will help you identify in detail which airlines are serving the disabled

physically better. To assist in my research, this article will introduce the best airlines for

passengers with disabilities and the most important things to consider when flying with

disabilities.Some airlines are better than others – some offer free mobility aids, others do

not. For example, Delta Air Lines is dedicated to providing comfortable air travel for all

passengers, regardless of passenger situation. It also exercises personal accessibility and

offers versatile seating. It is reliable because it collects information from each airline site.

It is the latest version since it was released in 2019.

Reflection:

Until I did this research, I didn't know what aviation laws for people with disabilities

were and how they would be enforced. After all, humans knew that if they were not in that

position, they wouldn't be able to figure out what was wrong or what was needed. I think this

knowledge is very important for becoming a flight attendant. I believe that further efforts to

realize comfortable air travel, such as improving the convenience of the boarding mechanism,

which is a barrier to the use of aircraft, will make a great change to the aviation industry in the

future.

People with different background use the airline service which also includes the people

with disabilities and people having religious food concerns. Some of the time, people have to fly

over 9 hours in a flight without any stop. During this interval most of the airlines provide just

snack to the passengers. How can an airline service think that passengers will be happy with just

snacks while having a long hour flight? A suitable action is required from the airline service

providers to solve this problem. Probably, having an airline members meeting including the

flight attendants might help in figuring the solution out because when ever a passenger is not

comfortable with anything on flight, flight attendant are the one who hear the problem on sight.

When booking an airplane, checking in at the airport, at the boarding gate, and in all

situations in the cabin, I think that people with disabilities can have a comfortable and pleasant

experience. Also, through this project, I was able to reconfirm that it is very important to take the

position of others and think about others' feelings.
