B.R.A offers the passenger the opportunity to bring medical oxygen.

 

Please note that B.R.A can only transport certain types of oxygen, while others are inappropriate for transporting on-board our airplanes. Therefore, they need all the information from you regarding measurements, content, type of electrical unit and more. 

 

To guarantee that their safety rules are followed, and to ease the handling of your helping aid, it is very important that you read the information and answer a number of questions about you and your helping aid in a form. 

 

Please note that the form should be sent to B.R.A no later than 48 hours before departure.

 

Rules for oxygen bottles

 

The following applies for transporting oxygen bottles on their flights:

 

• The total gross weight of the oxygen bottles can not be more than 5 kg
• You are not allowed to bring liquid oxygen on board.

 

Electronic form for transporting oxygen bottles can be found here

 

To travel with oxygen and portable electric medical helping aids

 

1. Your medical helping aid should:
   (i) be stowed under the seat in front of you during taxi, take-off and landing, so it does not prevent the availability to or in the aisle; 
   (ii) (if used during the flight) be used in a way that it does not prevent access to emergency equipment and/or emergency exits.
2. When the "fasten seatbelt sign" is turned off, it is allowed to use your helping aid and, at the same time, move freely in the cabin. 
3. The user needs to make sure that the helping aid is free from oil or other petroleum products and that the unit is safe condition.
4. The user needs to hear, see and have the opportunity to follow and act on the alarms that the helping aid can indicate. In those cases where these demands cannot be met, the user needs to be assisted by a person who can follow these demands.
5. The user is responsible to bring the right amount of extra batteries so that the device does not stop working during any part of the trip where the passenger has stated that he/she is in need of the helping aid. The calculation should with good margins take in consideration to possible delays during the trip. 
6. Bring and be prepared to show "the doctor's statement" for the staff (does not apply to bringing oxygen bottles).

Please contact our Assisted Travel Team to talk about your requirements, as we will need a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) from your treating Doctor before we can give approval. Please note that liquid oxygen systems are forbidden for carriage on aircraft.

Alternatively, you can obtain an oxygen cylinder via the Time Passenger Service, preferably 14 days prior to departure. Price is 2000 DKK/SEK/NOK or 275 EUR per ordered cylinder.

Jet Time recommends that you carry an oxygen concentrator rather than oxygen cylinders. It is not possible to charge batteries on a Jet Time flight so passengers should ensure they fetch batteries with charge equal to the total flight time + 50 per cent.

KLM allows Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) on board its aircraft. Only POC’s that are battery operated or POC’s that are both battery operated and operating on net power are allowed for use on board. Please make sure you reserve for the transportation of your POC well before departure. Passengers need to bring enough fully charged batteries with them. Based on the manufacturer’s estimate of the hours of battery life while the device is in use, and on the information provided by your physician, your batteries need to last for at least 150% of the expected maximum duration of your flight. The batteries will need to be stowed under your seat. Spare batteries are only allowed in your hand baggage, never in your check-in baggage. Your POC must be EASA/FAA approved and you should contact KLM Cares at least 48 hours before departure to register it. Your doctor must complete a Medical Information Form and return it to KLM at least 48 hours before flight departure KLM is also able to provide oxygen on board their aircraft.

Volotea allows personal oxygen concentrators (POC) to be taken on board the aircraft. These must be battery powered  and additional batteries carried in hand luggage. Passengers are also allowed to carry oxygen cylinders (gross weight <5kg) in the cabin subject to prior approval from Volotea.

Vueling cannot provide additional oxygen to passengers who require it for medical purposes, nor will they accept oxygen cylinders because they are considered to be dangerous goods. However, the use of portable oxygen concentrators (POC) and CPAP machines for sleep apnoea is permitted on board, provided the following requirements are met:

• Vueling does not allow medical aids to be charged through the power points on board.
• It must be possible to switch off all such equipment if required for safety reasons during the flight.
• Breathing equipment (POC and CPAP machines) and other devices may only be fitted with dry batteries.
• Spare batteries must be carried in hand baggage, packed individually in separate pouches and protected from damage or accidental short circuit during the flight.
• The size of the device is approximately 30x30 cm, depending on the model, and it may not take up any more room on the plane than the space assigned to you yourself.

You should carry sufficient batteries to cover at least 150% of the total duration of the trip. The total duration of the trip includes waiting times at the departure, transit and arrival airports, plus the provision of additional time for unexpected delays.

Power supplies for a portable oxygen concentrator should be sufficient for flight time, transmissions and unexpected delays. Power supplies containing lithium can be of two types, depending on the content of lithium they contain: Power supplies containing up to 8 g of lithium: allowed in unlimited quantities. Power supplies containing from 8 g to 25 g of lithium: 2 units are allowed - each in a separate package to prevent short circuits.For one passenger indicated in the MEDIF medical report, it is allowed to transport small personal small cylinders for a sufficient quantity of air - up to 5 kg gross each - with gaseous oxygen or air for medical purposes only, in the form of checked baggage or cabin baggage. Again this is required to be preapproved by the airline

Cylinders, valves and regulators, if any, should be protected from damage to prevent the spontaneous leakage of the contents. Transportation by air transport of liquid oxygen cylinders is prohibited. Under no circumstances should the use of an oxygen kit (a cylinder and an oxygen mask) be used during take-off and landing.

During a horizontal flight, the use of an oxygen kit (a cylinder and an oxygen mask) in medical needs should be controlled by a flight attendant.
