We can only carry battery-powered mobility aids if your mobility is restricted by either your disability, health, age or a temporary mobility problem. Due to the size of our aircraft, such devices must reduce in height to 81cm high or less to fit through the cargo hold doors of our aircraft. We can only carry a maximum of three battery-powered mobility aids on a single flight, which will be accepted on a first come first served basis. 

If you’re travelling with a mobility aid, you must let us know in advance. Due to the variety of mobility aids available, it’s essential that you provide us with some key information about your device at least 48 hours before travel: 

• make and model of motorised device - if your mobility device is a manual wheelchair with a separate battery pack, please provide us with the make and model of the battery pack, 

• type of battery, 

• number of batteries used to operate your device, 

• number of spare batteries, 

• the weight of your device in kilograms, 

• dimensions in centimetres (including instructions on how to collapse it to 81cm or less in height, if applicable), and 

• instructions on how to switch off and make your device safe for flight. 

You must also tell us if your device has been modified in any way since you bought it – we may ask for documentation to show that any modifications have been carried out by an approved party (e.g. the manufacturer). 

Electrical circuits must be inhibited to stop accidental operation during flight – how you do this can vary by device, so it’s best to check the manufacturer’s instructions before calling us. Some have a key that can be switched to the ‘off’ position and removed. An aid which is only switched ‘on’ and ‘off’ with a push-button could be reactivated during a flight by accidental movement of baggage or cargo, so further steps may be needed to inhibit the circuits of such devices. For example, disconnecting electric cable plugs or connectors, or inserting an inhibiting plug (such as an Airsafe plug) into the charging socket of the devices. 

On newer models of mobility aids, battery terminals tend to be protected from short circuit through the battery being fully encased and being an integral part of the device. On other models where the battery terminals are exposed, you may need to insulate battery terminals, e.g. with electrical insulating tape.  

In all cases, a battery(ies) required for the operation of your device should only be removed if either the: 

• mobility aid doesn’t provide adequate protection for the battery(ies) due to its design, or 

• electrical circuits can’t be isolated. 

You’re responsible for making your mobility aid safe before your flight, as we’re not obliged to – this includes you travelling with any permitted tools required to facilitate this. Once we’re happy that it’s been made safe, we’ll load it onto the aircraft. If we’re not satisfied that it’s been made safe, we won’t be able to load your device onboard. Other factors which could prevent us carrying an electric mobility aid include: 

• the dimensions exceeding the cargo door dimensions,  

• the tare (unladen) weight exceeding the aircraft loading limitations, or  

• insufficient space being available on the aircraft at the time of booking. 

By checking in your device, you confirm to us that these requirements (and all specific requirements for the type of battery you are carrying) have been adhered to, ensuring that the device and associated batteries (including any spares) are safe for travel.
