Tulsa International Airport (TUL) is providing access to the Aira app, which is a visual interpreting service to help blind or low-vision users navigate their environments and answer their questions.
Aira connects blind and low vision individuals with certified Visual Interpreters, delivering a secure and reliable service 24/7, through the use of a traveler’s smartphone’s camera and the company app. Aira customers are able to use this service anywhere for a fee, but users won’t have to pay while in the TUL terminal.
Several other airports also partner with Aira, including Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL), St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT), Orlando International Airport (MCO), Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), and Newark Liberty International, LaGuardia and John Kennedy International airports.
“Improving access to air travel is a passion of ours, and we believe this service will make flying easier for passengers who are blind or have low vision,” said Bryan Crook, TUL director of customer experience. “We are grateful to be working with Aira since they are the experts in this space.”
