Lav4All Homepage

Lav4All (Lavatory for All) is a study on barrier-free aircraft toilets.

The use of aircraft toilets is often very limited or even impossible for many persons with reduced mobility. In short-haul and medium-haul traffic, aircraft toilets are generally not barrier-free, as the space for toilets is very limited in order to maximize the number of seats. In large-capacity aircrafts there are toilets named as barrier-free toilets but de facto the requirements in terms of universal design are not fully met. Lavatory4All aims to carry out intensive research into barrier-free aircraft toilet solutions that meet both the needs of affected individuals and are acceptable to airlines in terms of dimensions.
