Disabled passengers challenge Metro Airport accessibility in federal court

A blind mom and a paralyzed veteran are taking on Detroit Metro Airport. They say the airport isn’t just inconveniencing the disabled - it is putting them in danger.


The lawsuit that seemed to have been resolved was back in Detroit’s Federal Court Tuesday. The plaintiffs say Detroit Metro Airport isn’t living up to its end of a settlement agreement reached last fall.

One of the plaintiffs is Karla Hudson. 

She and her husband are blind, so when they travel with their young children they don’t drive. They, like many of the disabled rely on public transportation. 

Last fall, they say, it got a lot more difficult to fly out of Detroit Metro.
