easyJet and easyJet holidays have become an official member of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower global network.
In a statement, the airline said: “Becoming an official member is part of the airline and holiday companies’ continued work to make travel accessible for all and ensure customers who may need additional assistance can travel with the confidence that their needs will be recognised.”
The globally recognised Sunflower symbol, including the lanyard, pin badge, or ribbon, discreetly allows wearers to advise they have a non-visible disability.
By wearing the Sunflower, customers can signal that they may need additional support, time and understanding throughout their journey, enabling easyJet’s Flight, Cabin, and Ground Crews to check what support may be needed.
Wallis Harvey, easyJet’s Accessibility Specialist, said: “We are proud to become an official member of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower. This is one of the many steps we are taking to ensure we are making travel accessible for all, by helping our teams with greater awareness and understanding of non-visible disabilities, and the different ways our customer may need us to support them.”
easyJet has a range of assistance options available to support passengers with disabilities and easyJet’s crew are provided with continuous training on supporting customers who require additional assistance when they fly.
