3rd December, International Day of Persons with Disabilities, is an important global awareness day that reminds us of the importance of creating equal and accessible living spaces for all members of society. Çukurova International Airport, as an Accessible Airport for Everyone, continually develops its accessibility practices, which centre on providing a seamless travel experience, with a focus on inclusive service understanding. In this regard, Çukurova International Airport has a comprehensive accessibility policy aimed at ensuring that all passengers, regardless of physical, sensory, or cognitive differences, can access services. These efforts are applied in four main areas: architectural arrangements, service processes, technological infrastructure, and staff training.
With its physical accessibility arrangements, Çukurova International Airport meets international standards by providing ramps, elevators, accessible guidance systems, wide gate passages, tactile paving, non-slip flooring, accessible toilets, and dedicated parking spaces for passengers with disabilities. Under support and assistance services, the airport offers pre-requested assistance services for passengers with limited mobility, priority processing at check-in, security, and passport control, and wheelchair access throughout the terminal. Regular staff training is conducted on disabled passenger communication, emergency procedures, and guiding processes, while training programs to improve sign language use are also expanded. The airport also implements accessible interface standards on digital screens for technological and digital accessibility.
For a Barrier-Free Future…
Çukurova International Airport views its work in accessibility not just as a legal obligation but as a fundamental part of respect for human rights, and considers it an essential element of its corporate responsibility. In this context, it adopts an open approach to cooperation with public institutions, civil society organizations, and sector stakeholders.
To raise awareness and strengthen the culture of barrier-free living, the airport continues to organize staff training programs, collaborations, social responsibility projects, and public information events.
