To kick-off Mobility Awareness Month, Miami International Airport (MIA) made an exciting announcement: the airport has installed 10 power wheelchair charging stations throughout its terminals.
Lester Sola, Director and CEO of MIA Airport, said, “One of our highest priorities at MIA is making the joy of air travel even more accessible and convenient for all our customers. Thanks to our new charging stations, travelers using wheelchairs now have more freedom and independence to move around MIA without worrying about low batteries.”
The charging stations are located throughout the airport – 8 post-security and an additional 2 pre-security – and are easily located on the airport’s MyMIAccess map.
OUR TAKE: One of the most frustrating things about traveling with a power wheelchair is keeping it charged, but Miami Airport’s new charging stations will make it possible for wheelchair users to top-off their charge before a flight or during a layover. This fantastic initiative is welcome, and we look forward to other airports following MIA’s example!
