Airline Approved Power Chairs

You can take these power chairs on an airplane. In this category you will find electric power chairs that are approved by the FAA for air travel.

The FAA approves these power chairs to be checked in as luggage because their batteries meet either of these two requirements.

Sealed Lead Acid (AGM and Gel) - Led acid or gel batteries have to be no-spillable and sealed. These batteries can be left attached to your mobility scooter when checking it in as luggage.

Lithium-Ion - If your power chair comes with a lithium, you may check them in on an airplane but the battery needs to be disconnected from the power chair before checking it in.

Note: we recommend calling your airline before traveling, some restrictions may apply.
