What is digital accessibility?
Digital accessibility is a set of rules and good practices which cover in particular functional, graphic, technical, and editorial aspects. Monitoring these rules and good practices ensures that digital media are accessible to people with disabilities. An accessible site allows for:
The customization of its operating system and/or browser (making the text smaller or larger, changing the font, modifying the colors, pausing animations, etc.).
The browsing of the website using assistive technology, such as a voice synthesizer or a braille display.
The browsing of the website without the mouse, using only the keyboard, switches, or via a touch screen.
The consultation of videos and audio content by means of subtitles and/or transcripts.
Digital accessibility commitments
Air France is committed to providing the best possible travel experience, starting with an accessible digital experience for all passengers, including those with disabilities. To achieve this, we follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2., a level AA criterion of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI).
