The law regulates an airline's aircrafts and any potion of an airport that the airline owns, leases or controls. Airlines must ensure that deaf and hard of hearing people have prompt access to the same information it provides to other people. However the airline only needs to provide accessible communication services if a traveler who is deaf or hard of hearing alerts the airline that s/he needs additional services. In the areas owned or leased by an airline, televisions and video monitors must have captioning on at all times. The law applies to some but not all of the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) operations. MAC controls the MSP airport, and is affected more by accessibility rules in the Americans with Disability Act than the ACAA law. Under the ADA, MAC must ensure effective communication when it applies to information about MAC's services or is information that is communicated with equipment or in a facility owned by MAC. MNCDHH provided in-depth consultation to MAC about how to implement ACAA. MAC invested a lot of time and money into making the MSP airport accessible for travelers that are deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing. For more information about accessibility at the MSP airport, visit the Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport website.
