TAV Airports helps enhance accessibility at airports for visually impaired passengers

As part of this collaboration, visually impaired passengers at Antalya, Ankara Esenboğa, İzmir Adnan Menderes, Milas-Bodrum, and Gazipaşa-Alanya airports operated by TAV in Türkiye can receive free description and guidance support from professional assistants through the DANIŞ Visual Support Service via a mobile application.

TAV Airports, Türkiye's leading brand in airport operations, has added its collaboration with the DANIŞ Visual Support Service developed by WeWALK to its efforts to provide the best travel experience for everyone. With this agreement, visually impaired passengers can benefit from the DANIŞ service, which provides expert description and guidance support through the WeWALK mobile application, free of charge at airports in which TAV operates. The application has been implemented at Antalya, Ankara Esenboğa, İzmir Adnan Menderes, Milas-Bodrum, and Gazipaşa-Alanya airports, aiming to enable visually impaired passengers to equally benefit from the services offered at airports and move independently. TAV Airports, which operates 15 airports in 8 countries, aims to expand the application to airports abroad as well.

TAV Airports CEO Serkan Kaptan said: " At TAV Airports,  we strive to provide the best possible travel experience to all our passengers. Freedom of travel is a fundamental right and our passengers are all different, but equal. With this understanding, we consider it our primary responsibility to ensure that all airport services are accessible to every passenger. Through our collaboration with "Danış," we are happy to support visually impaired passengers in navigating the airport independently and enhance their overall experience.  Currently implemented at our five airports in Türkiye, we plan to expand this cooperation to our international operations soon.  Our goal is to lead the way in promoting accessible travel throughout our industry and raise social awareness on this important issue."

Kürşat Ceylan, Co-Founder of WeWalk added: "As the WeWALK team, we are taking our artificial intelligence technologies further with our DANIŞ video assistant service developed for visually impaired individuals. TAV Airports also pioneers the implementation of innovative technologies as a partner of DANIŞ. We believe that the 280,000 visually impaired individuals in Türkiye and the 253 million worldwide deserve an accessible world just like everyone else. I invite other companies to join our DANIŞ partner network for a more accessible and inclusive world."
