Disabled Facilities and Special Assistance

When booking and making an air carriage agreement, passengers with reduced mobility need to inform the carrier or the carrier’s agent, and when making a tourist product sale agreement — the tour operator or the tour agent about their restrictions of vital activity and about size, weight and other characteristics of individual mobility means (including presence and performance characteristics of storage batteries) carried onboard the aircraft.

Please note that the airline makes a decision on acceptance of passengers with limited mobility for carriage on the basis of a medical conclusion and subject to a range of factors: health state of the passenger, limitations on the number of passengers of special categories in flight, and the opportunity to provide special equipment in flight.

Detailed information about rules of air carriage of physically disabled passengers can be received from an airline, the services of which you prefer using.
