Safety rules for electric wheelchairs

Three types of batteries for wheelchairs are mostly used: 

• Wet-cell batteries – which are not allowed on our aircraft 

• Gel batteries 

• Dry-cell batteries, which also includes lithium batteries 

Chairs with lithium or dry-cell batteries need the battery attached to the wheelchair and in off position with the battery disengaged.  

You should be able to demonstrate to ground crew how to disengage the motor.

Some electric wheelchairs or other mobility aids may require special handling and must then be handed to our ground crew at an earlier stage than at the door of the aircraft. In many cases you will be able to use your mobility device until reaching the door of the aircraft.
