Facilities for passengers with special needs

Salvador International Airport (SSA), managed by VINCI Airports, has implemented a series of improvements to ensure universal accessibility and comfort for all passengers. The facilities comply with ANAC Resolution 280 and offer specific services for people with reduced mobility, neurodivergence, and families.

Reduced Mobility

The terminal is fully accessible, featuring ramps, spacious elevators, adapted restrooms, and tactile paving (tactile ground surface indicators) from the curb to the boarding area.

Boarding and Disembarking:
For aircraft parked in remote positions (without a jet bridge), the airport provides Ambulifts. These special vehicles lift wheelchair passengers to the aircraft door in a safe and dignified manner.

Requesting Assistance:
It is essential to notify the airline about the need for a wheelchair or personal assistance at the time of ticket purchase or at least 48 hours in advance.

Neurodiversity (Autism/ASD)

The airport features the "Autism-Friendly Airport" (Aeroporto Amigo do Autista) program.

Sunflower Lanyard: The use of the "Sunflower Lanyard" is recognized to discreetly identify passengers with hidden disabilities, ensuring they receive patience and additional support from staff.

Sensory Room: There is a multisensory room designed for neurodivergent passengers. This space offers a controlled environment with soft lighting and reduced stimuli to calm anxiety before the flight.

• People over 60 years old.
