As part of World Autism Awareness Month, Istanbul Airport hosted a meaningful celebration event in collaboration with the Flying to Kindness International Humanitarian Aid Association. The event once again demonstrated that an inclusive travel experience is possible for individuals with special needs.
Participants had the opportunity to experience various accessibility services such as quiet rooms at accommodation facilities, therapy dogs, special food and beverage services, and Café Yanımda, which employs individuals with autism.

“Ensuring that our guests feel safe, understood, and valued throughout their journey is one of our greatest priorities. This event is a tangible demonstration of our commitment to making travel more inclusive and accessible for everyone.”
