# §382.87. What other requirements pertain to seating for passengers with a disability?

- (a) As a carrier, you must not exclude any passenger with a disability from any seat or require that a passenger with a disability sit in any particular seat, on the basis of disability, except to comply with FAA or applicable foreign government safety requirements.
- (b) In responding to requests from individuals for accommodations under this subpart, you must comply with FAA and applicable foreign government safety requirements, including those pertaining to exit seating (see 14 CFR [121.585](/cfr/14/121.585.md) and [135.129](/cfr/14/135.129.md)).
- (c) If a passenger's disability results in involuntary active behavior that would result in the person properly being refused transportation under [§ 382.19](/cfr/14/382.19.md), and the passenger could be transported safely if seated in another location, you must offer to let the passenger sit in that location as an alternative to being refused transportation.
- (d) If you have already provided a seat to a passenger with a disability to furnish an accommodation required by this subpart, you must not (except in the circumstance described in [§ 382.85(a)(2)(ii)](/cfr/14/382.85.md?p=a-2-ii)) reassign that passenger to another seat in response to a subsequent request from another passenger with a disability, without the first passenger's consent.
- (e) You must never deny transportation to any passenger in order to provide accommodations required by this subpart.
- (f) You are not required to furnish more than one seat per ticket or to provide a seat in a class of service other than the one the passenger has purchased in order to provide an accommodation required by this part.
