Christopher Wood

Founder
Flying Disabled

I am occasionally called a disruptor sometimes a prosumer - (I prefer the last one). I am creating the solution so the most vulnerable in our society can travel by air, with dignity sitting in their own wheelchair inside the cabin of an aircraft. Aviation is decades behind land and sea in accessibility, so there is much work to do. For many in aviation this is now close to home.
