Passengers with reduced mobility can receive assistance at the airport of departure and of arrival as well as during the flight. In case passengers wish to receive assistance, it is advisable to reserve assistance when booking the flight, or by contacting us as soon as possible afterwards. This assistance is always provided free of charge.

Several types of assistance are available for people with reduced mobility. It is therefore always required to provide correct information.

The most frequent types of assistance include:

• WCHR: passengers who require assistance to cover long distances, but are able to walk and ascend and descend stairs independently.
• WCHS: passengers who are able to walk short distances, but cannot ascend and descend stairs but need assistance.
• WCHC: passengers who are completely immobile and wheelchair-bound. These persons need to have their own wheelchair and be accompanied to their seat on the plane.

Other assistance options include:

• Escort for people with auditory and/or visual impairment: passengers are guided to their seat. These persons can always travel with an assistance dog or guide dog.
• Escort for people with developmental and/or cognitive impairment.
• Meet & Assist: escort for passengers who require assistance to find their way at the airport (e.g. people who fly for the first time, who are unable to read, mothers with small children)
