Mobility aids and wheelchairs

The dimensions and features of some narrow-bodied aircraft in Qantas' fleet (B737, B717, F100 and Dash 8 aircraft) mean that:

  • wheelchair accessible toilets are not available on those aircraft;
  • storage of passenger wheelchairs in the cabin is not possible;
  • on-board aisle wheelchairs are not available (with the exception of the 737-800);
  • stowage of some customer mobility aids may not be possible; and
  • there is generally a limit of one electric wheelchair per flight.

In accordance with IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations, you are required to obtain Dangerous Goods approval from Qantas for any battery powering a Mobility Aid.
