Private jets and reduced mobility: what to prepare

A private jet can make travel easier for someone with reduced mobility: shorter distances, a welcome at the aircraft steps. A few points need checking.

Published

What can help

  • A welcome as close as possible to the aircraft and baggage assistance.
  • A roomier cabin depending on the aircraft category.

What to check

  • Access on board: most jets have a door with built-in stairs, with no jet bridge or lift.
  • The wheelchair: size, weight and storage.
  • The lavatory and room to move in the cabin.

Medical transport

A medical transport is a different service, handled by our partner ambulanceflight.com.
