Every assistance request has to be mentioned during the booking and in some case we might require a medical certificate (or an INCAD formulary / Incapacitated Passengers Handling Advice). In such a case, please contact our call center to confirm your booking.
However, if passengers have not provided any notification, LUX-Airport is required to make reasonable efforts to provide the required assistance.
We recommend you to consult your general practitioner to prepare your flight. In order to provide the best quality service, it is important to specify during your booking:

- If it is an electric or manual wheelchair, foldable or not
- Weights and dimensions in bendable position, in the following order (length x width x high)
- In case you are using an electric wheelchair, please indicate if it has dry-cell or wet-cell battery
A guide or other assistance dog can travel free of charge on board (subject to sanitary and custom formalities); please be advised that a travel ability certificate can be required at check-in.
Passengers needing a medical oxygen bottle during the flight have to inform the airline during the reservation and are subject to authorisation from the airline.

For security reasons, only electric wheelchairs with DRY-CELL batteries are allowed on EMB145/135 and Q400 aircrafts.
In order to avoid any damage to the plane and to offer the best security during the flight, electric wheelchairs can be accepted as hold luggage only if the following conditions are respected:
- Wheelchairs supplied by a dry-cell or an “invertible” battery, as defined by the IATA and ICAO regulations regarding dangerous goods, can be transported on board only if :
- their battery is disconnected,
- the polar opposites are isolated from another in order to prevent any accidental short-circuits,
- the battery is attached in safe way to the wheelchair.
The battery can be classified as non-“invertible” if it can support vibrations and differential pressure testes without any liquid leak, as provided by the IATA and ICAO regulations regarding dangerous goods.
- Wheelchairs supplied by “invertible” batteries can be transported on board only if :
- the wheelchair can be charged, stowed, consolidated and unloaded in permanent vertical position and if the battery is disconnected,
- the polar opposites are isolated from another in order to prevent any accidental short-circuits,
- the battery is attached in safety way to the wheelchair.
In any case, the captain must be informed of the wheelchair’s exact localisation on board.
If a IATA carrier accepts an “invertible” battery supplied wheelchair that cannot be charged, stowed, consolidated and unloaded in a permanent vertical position, the battery has to be removed and the wheelchair can be transported as a hold luggage without any restrictions.
Once removed, the battery must be transported in a solid and rigid packaging, namely:
- The packaging has to be watertight, impermeable to the battery liquid and protected from knock over either by consolidating it to a palette or in cargo hold by using appropriated way of consolidation (others than wedging with fret or passengers luggage) such as straps, hook or attached supports.
- The battery must be protected from short-circuits, consolidated in a vertical position in a external packaging and wrapped up with compatible material that can absorb the battery’s whole liquid content in case of leak.
- The external packaging has to be tagged (with his orientation) as ‘wet-cell battery with wheelchair’ and ‘corrosive’. It is highly recommended to equip “invertible” batteries with a hermetic and non-“invertible” cover.
