Bradley International Airport Improves Accessibility with New Navigation App Bradley International Airport in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, is enhancing accessibility for travelers with disabilities through the implementation of the GoodMaps app. This free, intuitive navigation tool is proving invaluable to individuals like Kristen, a blind woman featured in a recent video demonstration.
