Minister for Aviation Cecilia Abena Dapaah has assured that her ministry will formulate policies to guarantee all buildings are re-structured to ensure easy movement for the disabled at the airports.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”WhM97Z6KGJgYZdLLns0u4ZkBKOaaxJno”]Numerous concerns have been raised about the\u00a0inconvenient nature of\u00a0buildings and structures at the airports which hinder the easy movement of the disabled.<\/p>\n
The Ghana Civil Aviation Authority last year also came up with a new revision which sought to sanction airlines as well as industry players who fail to make provisions for the carriage by air of disabled persons.<\/p>\n
The new revisions were geared towards ensuring that persons with disability get the right treatment and services in the aviation industry.<\/p>\n
But addressing the Appointments Committee on Wednesday, Cecelia Dapaah said she will ensure authorities adhere to the policies to ease the stress of the disabled.<\/p>\n
\u201cAccess for challenged persons is very difficult. I will definitely find ways around it because I have thought about it and discussed it privately. I think we will need a policy to make sure that all these buildings have the compliance in order.\u201d<\/p>\n
She added that \u201cWith the new airport, I believe we will still have to look at that. As much as we will have the tunnel movement as well, we still have to figure a way on how they can get up there to go through it, I think it\u2019s in order and we will take that up.\u201d<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, she says plans are underway to ensure more women delve into the aviation sector.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know we have a few females who are pilots.I understand the flight school that was been constructed in Afienya has been abandoned. We mean to seek private people to take that up.\u201d<\/p>\n
