Particular assistance to the travelers with reduced mobility

Passengers with reduced mobility who travel alone may apply for special assistance to help them move through the airport. Requests for this service need to be made at least 48 hours in advance of your scheduled departure or arrival time through your airline or travel agent.

In case of travelling with your own collapsible or powered wheelchair, we recommend to contact your airline or travel agent in advance. They need to inform you about any rules which may apply at the departure and arrival airport. In addition, passengers need to check if their own collapsible or powered wheelchair is allowed to be taken on board of the aircraft or in the hold luggage.
