MANCHESTER-based holiday airline Thomas Cook is to repaint the toilet compartments of its fleet of 24 airliners -- so that partially sighted passengers can more easily locate essential fittings.
Use of contrasting colours will enable passengers to identify such items as the toilet button and the door handle.
The plan was unveiled by the airline's executives in a meeting at their Manchester Airport headquarters with Joe Hennessey, who chairs a national voluntary committee on mobility for disabled people.
