Southampton Airport has been rated as 'good' for accessibility in the Civil Aviation Authority’s latest Airport Accessibility Report.
The annual report evaluates the quality of assistance provided to passengers with disabilities or reduced mobility across 28 UK airports.
Selina Chadha, group director for consumers and markets at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, said: "We want disabled passengers and those with limited mobility to be confident when travelling through UK airports."
Southampton was one of 14 airports to receive a 'good' rating for its services, reflecting a positive standard of support.
The report covers performance from April 2024 to March 2025.
A total of 5.5 million passengers requested assistance at UK airports in 2024, representing 1.9 per cent of total travellers.
This marks a continued rise in demand, up from 1.69 per cent in 2023.
The CAA introduced its Airport Accessibility Framework in 2014 to improve standards and hold the aviation industry accountable.
