The Airchair and Airchair II are intuitive to use but we recommend you read the operating instructions and watch the videos below before you use either product. You can download the user manuals in pdf format. On Airchair II, full instructions for use are featured on the backrest as well as being incorporated on the carry bag.
Please note that Airchair and Airchair II have been designed to be onboard transit chairs only. They should never be used outside of the aircraft cabin.
The Airchair and Airchair II are easy to deploy – they simply unfold and the back rest locks into position. Airchair II has an additional Safety Stay that automatically locks the X frame into place. Deployment of both models takes just a few seconds and requires little training or practice. Once assembled, Airchair and Airchair II are immediately ready for the passenger and once they are seated they can be made to feel safe by securing the waist and thigh straps and resting their feet on the drop down footrest, or folding footplate on Airchair II.
The backrest can be retracted by depressing the bar at the back of the chair. This enables cabin crew or the passenger’s carer to help the passenger slip from the Airchair to their aircraft seat. Both models also feature a folding armrest for passenger comfort and safety, if required
Both Airchair and Airchair II are easy to store too because when folded they are small enough to fit into an overhead locker or dog box. And because it is so lightweight it is easy to lift overhead if necessary.
The castors on both the original Airchair and Airchair II rotate 360o . However, in order to comply with the latest US DoT Regulation, Airchair II is fitted with directional castors to the rear of the chair. These castors have three settings: 360o rotation, fixed in a forward/backward position for directional travel and brake to lock the wheel. These three settings provide maximum movement for Airchair II so that it is easy for the cabin crew to move the passenger around the confines of an aircraft and secure the aisle chair during passenger transfer.
Airchair’s frame is finished with Sterilcoat-AM®, an anti-microbial powder coating that prevents the spread of harmful micro-organisms by significantly reducing microbial activity and suppressing the growth of mould and bacteria.
The powder coating provides protection over an extended period of time and retains its anti-microbial properties even after repeated washing or cleaning.
The castors on both Airchair models have sealed bearings and need no attention.
The leather fabric seats and back should occasionally be cleaned using warm, soapy water and a soft cloth.
The hook, pictured, may benefit from a small amount of Vaseline applied to the cam.
