The Practical and Cost Effective Airchair Solution
For airlines, the Airchair allows passengers to be moved easily, requires minimal training and is easy to deploy, operate and stow. Weighing less than 7kg Airchair enables airlines to meet the needs of passengers requiring special assistance in the aircraft’s cabin making it an effective and reliable onboard wheelchair solution for cabin crew.
For passengers with reduced mobility, Airchair and Airchair II provide a safe and comfortable experience, putting them at ease at a time when they may be feeling anxious.
Airchair is an onboard wheelchair or aisle chair which is only used within the cabin of an aircraft. For passengers in need of special assistance, it provides a safe and dignified mode of transfer that will not tip over or break. The UK manufactured product is highly engineered and sturdy and negates the passengers’ fear of falling and vulnerability. It is the only aisle chair tested to withstand 250kg SAL (Suddenly Applied Load), and Airchair II ensures compliance with the US DoT Regulation 14 CFR Part 382.65.
The Airchair Onboard Wheelchair Design
The design of our onboard wheelchairs focuses on simplicity and robustness. This ensures that Airchair and Airchair II are easy to use and provide the ultimate in comfort, safety and dignity for the passenger.
We have concentrated too on making our Airchairs as light as possible so that they don’t add unnecessary weight to the aircraft but that the robust design ensures passengers feel safe when using them.
Additionally, we have paid attention to stowage and both Airchair and Airchair II fold so that they can be stowed in an overhead locker or dog box, neatly out of the way until they are needed.
Precision build
The Airchair range combines a great experience for the passenger and a simple, effective solution for the Cabin Crew. Specific attention has been paid to making Airchair products as light as possible – Airchair weighs 6kg/13lb and Airchair II 6.8kg/15lb. Both are robust (carrying capacity 250kg/550lb) and easy to stow – fitting in an overhead locker.
Practical detail
Our aircraft wheelchairs are robust and have a maximum carrying capacity of up to 250kg (550lb). Each Airchair is fitted with fold-out side restraints and foot supports for extra comfort. The frame is coated in antimicrobial paint to prevent the spread of infection. The back rest retracts to assist transfer. Airchair is also available in different widths.
Supporting airlines
The Airchair helps airlines take care of their passengers who require special assistance. A positive, caring experience for a passenger with reduced mobility not only makes flying easier and more enjoyable for them but also cements the ongoing relationship between the airline and the customer. That’s why Airchair is the aisle chair of choice for airlines.
