The annual Civil Aviation Authority report said no UK airport had received a ‘poor’ rating for the first time since 2020.

Accessibility at UK airports has improved but there is “more work to do”, the aviation regulator has said.

The annual report by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) found no UK airport had received a “poor” rating for accessibility performance over the last year, for the first time since 2020.

The report ranked every UK airport with a passenger volume of more than 150,000 on their treatment of passengers with reduced mobility and disabilities.

Despite a greater demand for assistance services, 11 airports were rated “very good” for accessibility, 12 were rated “good”, and only five were rated as “needs improvement”, the CAA said.
