Many airports today are easy accessible and offer inductions loops for the hard of hearing, comfortable seating and text phones. Signs are clearly labelled for the visually impaired and some airports are able to provide staff that can communicate via sign language. Plus disabled parking spaces can be found located close to the terminal building. The airports will also provide assistants from the car parks to the terminal building.
