The National Federation of the Blind, the transformative advocacy organization of blind people in the United States, commends the signing of H.R. 3935 into law. The House of Representatives and U.S. Senate passed H.R. 3935 with overwhelming bipartisan support keeping all the accessibility provisions intact. On May 16, 2024, President Biden signed into law H.R. 3935, the “FAA Reauthorization Act of 2024.”
Specific accessibility provisions in H.R. 3935 that would benefit blind and disabled air travelers include: 

• Training requirements for assisting passengers with disabilities.
• Better access standards for the accessibility of in-flight entertainment.
• Improved access to airline websites.
• Initiates a pilot program for air passengers to register their service animal, eliminating the need to complete the service animal forms for each flight.

“While blind people use air travel like everyone else, it is often not an accessible or pleasant experience for us,” said Mark Riccobono, President of the National Federation of the Blind. “From booking our trip on an airline website to ensuring that the airline will accommodate our guide dog or cane to receiving appropriate assistance from airport and airline personnel, any trip can present a series of challenges, sometimes even resulting in delayed or denied travel. We cannot even always relax after jumping through all those hoops to enjoy the in-flight entertainment because the systems and content may not be accessible. Provisions in this version of the FAA Reauthorization Act will help to address all of these issues. We therefore commend Congress for its passage and President Biden for signing it into law.”
