Web Accessibility Policy
Effective Date: 24.10.24
At Seventy Ninth Aviation, a subsidiary of 79th Air 2 Limited, we are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including individuals with disabilities. As part of our ongoing effort to provide a fully inclusive online experience, we strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards, as well as the legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010 in the UK.
- Our Accessibility Commitment
We are dedicated to making our website accessible by:
- Ensuring that all users, including those with disabilities, can easily access our services, information, and resources.
- Continuously improving the user experience for everyone and applying relevant accessibility best practices and standards.
- Reviewing and updating our website’s design, content, and technical framework to meet or exceed WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance.
- Measures Taken to Improve Accessibility
To create an accessible website, we implement the following measures:
- Text Alternatives: All images and multimedia on the site are accompanied by descriptive text (alt text) for screen readers.
- Keyboard Navigation: Our website is navigable using a keyboard alone, making it accessible to those who cannot use a mouse.
- Readable Fonts and Colour Contrast: We use readable font sizes and high-contrast colour schemes to ensure that text is clear and easy to read for users with visual impairments.
- Form Labels and Instructions: All input fields, including those for booking flights or providing information, are clearly labelled and designed to be accessible with assistive technologies.
- Accessible PDFs and Documents: Any downloadable content, such as booking forms or information sheets, is provided in accessible formats where possible.
- Resizing Text: Our website supports resizing of text without loss of content or functionality.
- Consistent Navigation: We use a consistent layout and navigation structure across the site to improve usability for all visitors.
- Third-Party Content
While we make every effort to ensure that third-party content (such as external links, embedded content, or integrated services) meets accessibility guidelines, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of content provided by third parties.
- Testing and Monitoring
We regularly test and monitor our website to identify and address any potential accessibility issues. We use both manual testing and automated tools to evaluate our site’s compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards.
