Airlines mishandle and damage passengers' wheelchairs and scooters
U.S. airlines mishandle wheelchairs and scooters at a reported rate of about 1 in 100, leaving travelers with damaged mobility devices, including one wheelchair that would not start after landing. Passengers also reportedly wait weeks or more for repair or replacement.

How to read the labels. Gap verified: two or more independent sources show existing solutions falling short. Gap contested: checked evidence on both sides. Gap not verified: a documented problem, not a proven opportunity. Confidence is never shown as high unless the gap is verified and people are shown to pay. Nothing here is a prediction of commercial success. More about the labels.
