About this listen
In this episode of I’m Disabled… So What?!, Lauren and Heather (she’s back!) take to the skies with Chris Wood MBE — the powerhouse behind Flying Disabled, Air4All, and Rights on Flights.
Chris shares his incredible journey from frustrated passenger to leading global advocate for accessible aviation. From campaigning for wheelchair-securement systems on commercial aircraft through Air4All, to lobbying airlines and regulators with Rights on Flights, Chris is leading the charge to make flying safer, easier, and more inclusive for disabled travellers everywhere.
