JAKARTA - United Airlines will put fire in all of its aircraft interiors, to support blind customers and visually disabled customers, making it the first airline in the United States to do so.

The announcement of the plan was made by United Airlines in a press release last July 27. In Uncle Sam's Country, July is the Month of Pride of Disabilities.

"By adding more tactile signatures across our interior, we are making the experience of flying more inclusive and accessible, and that's good for everyone," said Executive Vice President Chief Customer Officer for United Linda Jojo in a statement.

"Finding your seat on the plane or going to the bathroom is something most of us take for granted, but for millions of our customers, it can be a challenge to do it independently."

The window will be used to show the hallway and seat numbers as well as the location of the toilet, United Airlines said.

In addition, United Airlines is working with the National Federation of Blind (NFB) and the American Blind Council (ACB) in other ways to support visually impaired passengers and people with visual disabilities on board.

"United is taking additional steps to create passenger experiences that are easily accessible through signboards," said ACB Interim Executive Director Dan Kalaye, in a statement.

"We value the ongoing exploration of airlines for additional in-flight navigation tools, such as big letters and tactile indicators, and we encourage all airlines to follow United's steps in making air travel more inclusive for the blind and low-vision communities."

In addition to improving aircraft features that make it more friendly for people with disabilities. The United Airlines application was recently updated, to make it easier for screen reading programs to be easier to understand.

It is known, the termappropriation is taken from the name of the creator, a visually impaired from France, Louis Orang. He created a language that used these high points in 1824.
