The Federal Aviation Administration is calling for comments on airline seat sizes, which many argue aren’t inclusive to all body types.

Members of the general public will have 90 days to give feedback on the minimum seat dimensions necessary for passenger safety. Some are using the survey to advocate for inclusive seating for all body types. The FAA specifically asked for feedback regarding how seat sizes impact disabled people’s safety, as well as people over age 60 and children. The mandate does not include passenger comfort.
