Airport Travel with Michael Connolly, Skywise Solutions

The Sunflower Conversations

This episode was recorded at Rise4Disability.
Experience the world of accessible travel in aviation with Michael Connolly as we welcome him to the Sunflower Conversations podcast at the Rise4Disability event in Milton Keynes. Michael shares his vast knowledge of the hurdles faced by travellers with disabilities and how innovations like the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower are making a difference.

The challenges and barriers faced by disabled passengers are varied. We discuss the varied levels of airport assistance available and how to access it to ensure a safe and accessible journey.

We also hear about the Civil Aviation Authority's role in maintaining standards and the need for every aircraft to have onboard wheelchairs to ensure no passenger is left without support.
Michael explains the importance of the Sunflower's discreet ability to indicate that support is required. We highlight how the lanyard empowers individuals, allowing them to travel independently while maintaining privacy.
