Electric Wheelchairs and mobility aids, lithium ion batteries restrictions:
Passengers with limited ability to sit
For security reasons, passengers are required to sit in the upright position while the plane is moving, during take off, in the event of mid-flight turbulence and during landing. For passengers who cannot remain in an upright position throughout the flight, an approved safety harness must be used for air travel. If you have any queries, please read the extended information for passengers with reduced mobility. For more information: ssr.ux@air-europa.com.
Devices over 40 cm wide will not fit between the armrests, and therefore would not be sufficiently secure.
Passengers travelling on a stretcher or whose needs are not covered by the auxiliary devices listed may apply the regulations for passenger on stretchers.
A person is considered to have a disability or reduced mobility when their ability to use the transport is reduced by a physical (sensory or locomotive, permanent or temporary) or intellectual disability or impairment, or by reason of age or other factor, resulting in them requiring specific assistance and adaptation of the service to their needs.
Travelling assistant
- A travelling assistant is not required for any physically self-sufficient person who is able to assist themselves in evacuating the aircraft. In practice, self-sufficiency means a person being able to unfasten their seat belt, leave their seat and reach an emergency exit unaided; get and put on a life jacket and oxygen mask without assistance; and understand the safety instructions and advice given by the crew in an emergency (including information in accessible formats).
- A travelling assistant is anyone over 12 years old on domestic flights and over 15 years old on international flights who is willing and able to assist a physically disabled passenger in an emergency and who can understand and apply safety instructions.
- A blind person can be accompanied by a guide dog in the cabin, even if it weighs over 8 kg. Guide dogs must wear a muzzle and carry an up-to-date vaccination record.
- Authorizations for passengers with reduced mobility should be requested by fax to the Air Europa Special Requirements Department on 902 401 505, providing as much detail as possible of the type of disability, number of companions, etc.
Wheelchair services:
We offer three types of wheelchair services. When requesting this service, please specify the type required:
- WCHR: (R for Ramp) The passenger is able to walk up and down the stairs of the plane and make their own way to their seat, but needs a wheelchair to get from the check-in to the plane and vice versa.
- WCHS: (S for Steps) The passenger cannot walk long distances or up and down the stairs of the plane, but once in the cabin is capable of making their own way to their seat.
- WCHC: (C for Cabin Seat) The passenger is completely immobile (paraplegics, etc.) and needs to be taken from the check-in to their seat on the plane.
(It is important to clearly specify which of the three types is required when requesting the wheelchair service, so that the assistance the passenger needs can be provided).
Baggage allowance
In addition to the standard baggage allowance, passengers may also take 2 wheelchairs or mobility devices, crutches or similar at no charge.
Passengers with limited ability to sit
1. General
For safety reasons, all passengers other than those travelling on a stretcher are asked to sit upright during taxiing, take off, turbulence and landing.
Note: Seats that recline to appropriate angles can only be provided in Business Class on some aircraft types.
Passengers with reduced mobility who cannot sit upright unassisted and who do not meet Air Europa's criteria for sitting on the lap of an adult or using a child seat may use certain auxiliary devices. These must be provided and adjusted by the passenger. The Company must be informed of the use of such devices.
2. Classification and approval
The following devices are acceptable on an Air Europa flight if the passenger signs a Liability Release Form and the device can be installed correctly on the aircraft seat.
- Cushion. Chronic pain makes it difficult for some passengers to sit. Some passengers suffer from neck or back pain, chronic pelvic pain (symphysis pubis dysfunction - SPD), or just sore hips. People suffering from coccyx pain also have trouble sitting. Some people are helped by sitting on cushions that are cut away on one side to relieve pressure on the sitting bones; these can also help with spinal injuries and arthritic or orthopaedic conditions. For this reason, Air Europa permits doughnut and wheelchair cushions on its flights, as long as they fit on the seat and do not stop the passenger from fastening their seatbelt.
- Crelling harness. This is designed to support and protect passengers (children and adults) with specific requirements. It is not a safety harness and must be used with the aircraft seatbelt. It straps around the back of the seat and is tightened to fit securely (it does not interfere with the drop down table of the passenger sitting behind) using a 5 point harness.
- Body support. This device moulds to the body holding the desired posture, sometimes using vacuum technology. It is designed to be used anywhere, maintaining full body support by stabilising the torso. It is flexible to the touch and easy to install on the aircraft seat. There are two side holes for the seat belt, which must be fitted before the passenger sits down. An air chamber in the seat back is used to inflate the bag, which moulds to the shape of the body, providing full body support. This may take a few minutes. The passenger should therefore board the flight first.
- Travel chair. Providing head support, straps and foot rests, with a 5 point harness providing complete upper body support. These chairs allow disabled passengers with limited upper body support to travel in comfort. They are very much like a child's car seat in design. They were developed to help children with specific requirements (usually aged 3 to 11, although the limits depend on size and weight). They fit into a conventional seat using an adjustable security strap. This is not a safety harness and must be used in conjunction with the aircraft seat belt. There are two side holes for the seat belt, which must be fitted before the passenger sits down.
- Limitations. While the width of aircraft seats varies, a device wider than 40 cm (16 inches - the distance between armrests) is unlikely to fit, even if the armrests are moved as far as possible. Passengers will not receive adequate protection from a poorly fitting device.
- Passengers whose needs are not met by any of the above devices, may be accepted in the cabin under the rules set out for Stretcher Passengers (STCR).

(1) Those designed with recessed battery terminals; or
(2) Those packaged so that the battery terminals do not contact metal objects (including the battery terminals of other batteries). When a battery-powered oxygen concentrator is carried on board aircraft as carry-on baggage and is not intended to be used during the flight, the battery must be removed and packaged separately unless the concentrator contains at least two effective protective features to prevent accidental operation during transport.
NOTE: Please note that aircraft electrical power is not available for portable oxygen concentrators; therefore, make sure to have enough batteries for the duration of the flight, overlay and unforeseen delays.
Batteries containing Lithium can be divided in two types based on the content of Lithium.
- With a content of up to 8 g Lithium can be carried unlimited.
- With a content of more than 8 g but not more than 25 g, not more than 2 pieces are allowed and only when individually protected against short circuits and wrapped in strong outer packaging can safely be transported in the passenger cabin.
To check the spare batteries which are offered upon check-in, the following equivalent values may serve as an aid:
- Up to 8 g Lithium may also be described as 100 watt/hour or 1450 mA/hour.
- Up to 25 g Lithium may also be described as 300 watt/hour or 4400 mA/hour.
