Seattle-based Alaska Airlines recently shared an article on its blog, in which it committed to “becoming the most accessible and inclusive airline for everyone.” To highlight its commitment, the airline released a new video to celebrate National Disability Employment Awareness Month.
The company stated, “We recognize that our diversity and inclusion efforts MUST include people with disabilities to positively impact the lives of ALL our employees and passengers.” That’s a refreshing take, given how frequently disability is left out of DE&I initiatives.
“We’ve come a long way in terms of helping our employees and customers with disabilities, but we didn’t do that alone. We rely heavily on our disability partnerships to let us know where we need to go to improve,” said Ray Prentice, Director of Customer Advocacy, Alaska Airlines.
