Avianca adds Braille signage onboard aircraft

The Colombian carrier Avianca has announced the introduction of the Braille system on its airplanes in an initiative to become more accessible, allowing all its customers to travel comfortably and on their own terms, improving their passenger experience. Braille is a tactile writing system used by visually impaired people. Avianca is introducing this system into its fleet. Visually impaired passengers will be able to locate Braille signs at key points across the planes, such as seats, restroom access, emergency exits, and more. Currently, Avianca has three planes fully equipped with this system and plans to increase this number in the future. The initiative is part of the Avianca Accessible program, which focuses on identifying barriers faced by travelers with disabilities and eliminating them by raising awareness, training its operational teams, and improving the processes in a simple manner driven by technology.<br/>
