“Europe” has different laws in different countries. The UK is incredibly keen on accessibility, but Germany is ablist as hell, for instance.
Comment on Why do US airports have a lot more jet bridges than EU airports?

Maybe something to do with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliance? Europe tolerates a lot less accessibility by necessity since they have so many older buildings, so maybe that translates over into having more tolerance for stairs when boarding planes?

I know the UK has the equality act, but I thought that only applied to employer/employee relationships. Is there actually an accessibility requirement/law for customers/patrons like the is in the US?

The last time I had to disembark a flight on the tarmac instead of via jet bridge, it was still a switch-back ramp instead of stairs, and was fully ADA compliant.
