Emirates wheelchair service

Request wheelchair or mobility assistance at least 48 hours before departure via Manage Booking, a local Emirates office, or live chat.

Two mobility aids (e.g., a collapsible manual wheelchair) can travel in the cabin free and don't count toward baggage limits; arrive 3 hours early if bringing an electric wheelchair so its battery can be checked.

Electric wheelchairs need advance notice of battery type/size/weight, and a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) is required at least 48 hours ahead for oxygen, stretchers, medical escorts or other onboard medical equipment (pre-approved CPAP/oxygen concentrators may not need one).

Request support as early as possible and follow the airline's published notice period, especially for powered equipment, medical clearance or a group booking.

We summarize Emirates's own published wheelchair service. Airlines change fees, allowances and document rules without notice, so always confirm the latest details on the official page linked below before you travel.
