The Equal Skies Charter’s mission is to build a world where people with a disability have equal access to the benefits and opportunities provided by aviation and aerospace industries.
The charter aims to increase the amount of people with disabilities working in aviation and aerospace and ensure that their lived experience is used to improve the sector’s services.
The Equal Skies Charter is an industry-driven initiative, calling on all aviation sector members to sign-up to a set of principles and behaviours that promote inclusion for people with disabilities.

This questionnaire, which is being supported by disabled flying charity Aerobility, is the first research project into disability within aviation which will help to identify and understand the barriers faced by disabled people working or looking to work in the aviation sector.
The Equal Skies Charter is a collaborative endeavour which aims to ensure that the aviation and aerospace industries offer equal employment opportunities to people with disabilities. It also supports organisations to use this lived disability experience to improve journeys for service users with a disability.
