What steps should the Disability court ask DGCA to take to ensure airline websites are accessible to the blind
Ensuring accessibility of airline websites for the blind
To ensure airline websites are accessible to the blind, the Disability court may ask the DGCA (Directorate General of Civil Aviation) to take the following steps:
- Enforce compliance with accessibility standards: The DGCA can make it mandatory for airlines to adhere to existing accessibility standards such as the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
- Conduct regular audits: The DGCA should periodically audit airline websites to assess their level of accessibility and identify any areas that require improvement.
- Provide guidelines and training: The DGCA can develop comprehensive guidelines for airlines on how to make their websites accessible and offer training programs for airline staff involved in website development.
- Establish penalties for non-compliance: The DGCA may establish penalties for airlines that fail to ensure accessibility, which can act as a deterrent and encourage compliance.
- Encourage the use of assistive technologies: The DGCA can promote the use of assistive technologies, such as screen readers, by providing information and resources to airlines.
