A tourist may be one of the most diverse kinds of consumer, including many people with disabilities. As a technologically driven industry, the tourism industry focused more on providing online services during the COVID-19 pandemic, where physical activity is limited and people practice social distancing. A company's success may be large extend depend on the quality of the website through which they supply their services. The primary goal of the study presented in this paper is to evaluate the overall quality of Indian commercial airline websites. This study evaluated the seven websites of passenger airlines on usability and accessibility parameters using an online diagnostic tool. Page size, load time, response time, broken links, contrast errors were used as the usability parameters, and the TAW tool was used to evaluate the websites' compliance with WCAG 2.0. The paper proposes a system for determining the best website by utilizing the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), and the Fuzzy AHP methods. The result shows that Indian airline websites have many usability issues, and none of the websites adheres to WCAG 2.0 accessibility guidelines. Friedman's test is applied to compare the ranking given by various MCDM techniques, resulting in no significant difference in the various ranking methods adopted.

Flying with nut and other food allergies: unravelling fact from fiction.
Arch Dis Child
December 2024
Aviation Medical Consultancy Limited, Burgess Hill, UK.
There is a common perception that peanut/tree nut particles can be transmitted through aircraft ventilation systems and pose a significant risk to passengers with food allergies. In fact, food-induced allergic reactions are around 10-100 times less common during flights than 'on the ground', perhaps because of the multiple precautions food-allergic passengers take when flying. We review the evidence for strategies to help prevent accidental allergic reactions while travelling on commercial flights (review registered at PROSPERO, ref CRD42022384341).

Background: The benefits of travel for the wellbeing of people of all ages and abilities are well known, though travellers with prostheses have so far been excluded. Limb loss, due to trauma, vascular disease, cancer, or infections requires a prosthesis for cosmesis and functionality. The life-changing event of losing a limb and the considerable psychological adjustment to accept an altered body image influence rehabilitation and self-management as well as the participation in social activities, such as sport and travel.

Background: Australia rapidly developed COVID-19 quarantine programs to reduce the adverse outcomes of a novel pathogen imported by visitors and returned travellers. Different quarantine pathways were utilised over the pandemic, yet no definitive cohort map exists to guide future preparedness. We created a whole-of-system cohort journey map of Australian quarantine cohorts to inform future pandemic preparedness activities.

Is negative e-WOM more powerful? Multimodal data analysis on air passengers' perception of COVID-19 safety measures.
Front Psychol
October 2022
School of Management, Harbin University of Commerce, Harbin, China.
During the normalization stage of the COVID-19 epidemic prevention and control, the safety threats caused by improper epidemic prevention measures of airlines have become the primary concern for air passengers. Negative e-WOM related to safety perception obtained based on online multimodal reviews of travel websites has become an important decision-making basis for potential air passengers when making airline choices. This study aims to examine the relationship between potential air passengers' negative safety perception and the usefulness of online reviews, as well as to test the moderating effect of review modality and airline type.
