Birmingham, Gatwick and Stansted airports have still not met CAA expectations for accessibility services and have been told they must make urgent improvements.


Manchester airport, meanwhile, comes bottom of the pile, rated “poor” for the second year in succession.


The CAA’s second annual accessibility report, published on Friday (July 13), takes an in-depth look at provision across the UK’s top 30 airports.


Some 16 airports have been ranked “very good”, up from just six last year, including Edinburgh airport which was rated “poor” last year.
