Incidently, I believe it is the ACAA (Air Carriers access Act) which applies to airlines. Here is a clip from the FAA website relating to access to air services for people with disabilities. You will see that in fact, the definition of a disability is exactly the same as the ADA. Note the requirement that the impairment must substantially limit one or more major life activities.
In providing air transportation, an air carrier, including (subject to [49 U.S.C.] section 40105(b)) any foreign air carrier, may not discriminate against an otherwise qualified individual on the following grounds:
(1) The individual has a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities.
(2) The individual has a record of such an impairment.
(3) The individual is regarded as having such an impairment.
AZ.. can we now debunk the myth that ANYTHING is a disability. It is rubbish..
