FAA to require larger lavatories for wheelchair users on new single-aisle planes by 2035

The U.S. Department of Transportation announced a new rule requiring expanded lavatories for wheelchair users on new single-aisle planes starting in 2035.
The rule aims to accommodate people with disabilities on increasingly long flights on single-aisle aircraft.
Lavatories must be large enough for two people, with grab bars, visual barriers, and improved wheelchairs.
The rule does not require retrofitting existing planes unless lavatories are replaced.
The Biden administration plans additional changes to improve accessibility on airplanes.
