What is an ABP?

• A. Defined by ICAO as a person who would be able to assist in an emergency situation if required.
• B. A passenger requiring special meals.
• C. A passenger seated near the tail.
• D. A cabin crew member designated for safety.

Answer: (A)

An ABP is an Able Bodied Passenger, a term defined by ICAO as a person who would be able to assist in an emergency situation if required. This helps crews quickly identify passengers who can help during evacuations or other urgent events, such as guiding others, following instructions, or handling equipment. It isn’t about special meals, seating location, or a crew member’s safety designation—the term specifically refers to a passenger who can provide aid in an emergency.
