Emirates brings Travel Rehearsal programme to Zambia

Emirates has expanded its Travel Rehearsal programme to Zambia, continuing its commitment to make air travel more inclusive and accessible in Africa and across the globe.

Uncertainty around airport and aircraft procedures, coupled with concerns on unknown sensory stimuli, are key concerns for travellers and families with accessibility requirements – a study on AutismTravel.com revealed that 78% of families report feeling hesitant to travel or visit new places. In its role as the world’s first Autism-Certified Airline, Emirates ideated the global Travel Rehearsal initiative, to help remove this barrier.
