Posted by Alan Day News

We were delighted. 56 people attended the very first Autism Flies event on May 16th, 2023. That was 20 special needs kids and their families. Everybody that came gained some truly useful experience and they all really enjoyed doing so.

 

We had one big regret. Space and time limitations meant that over 500 people had to go on to the waitlist for the next event.

About us

Both of ADC’s co-founders are career ‘travel people’ and both have special needs children: CEO Alan Day comes from the travel agency side and David Tait from aviation, where he was a co-founder of Virgin Atlantic Airways. In 2015, recognizing first-hand the industry’s lack of understanding of, and failure to cater to the special needs traveler, the two formed ADC and set about changing things.
