interCaribbean Airways guarantees safe air travel for disabled passengers by catering to all their needs and wants, throughout the airport and on-board journey with us. Below is our guide for passengers with differing abilities who wish to connect with the Caribbean through us.

Customers with Visual or Hearing impairment

We recognize all customers with differing abilities, and wish to ensure that each customer receives the care and attention they need from us. when making a reservation for a customer who is blind, or requires the assistance of a service animal, or is deaf and travelling alone, so we can make sure we take care to assist them through the airport and on-board journey with us. Please make sure at the time of making a reservation that we are advised of these customer needs. If you made a reservation online, please call us to advise so we may add special assistance notes to the reservation. With this we can be prepared at the airport to begin assistance.

 

 

Wheelchairs

Wheel Chair assistance

Please let us know in advance, preferably at the time of making your reservation if you need a wheelchair. We will do our best to ensure that this is available timely at the airport when you arrive.

 

 

Travelling with your own wheelchair?

  • We can usually arrange to carry your wheelchair or mobility aid on your flight.
  • Please tell us your wheelchair’s measurements and weight at the time of booking.
  • One mobility aid e.g. a wheelchair will be carried free of charge in addition to the applicable checked baggage allowance.
  • If you have a battery-powered wheelchair, you need to take certain safeguards before you travel. Please ask for details when you contact us.
  • We will try our best to ensure that, if you wish, you can stay in your own wheelchair until you arrive at the boarding gate. However, all airports are different and sometimes it is not practical to do so.
  • At some airports we may have to check wheelchairs or mobility aids into the aircraft hold and give them back to you in the arrivals baggage hall of your destination airport. If we do this we will transport you from check in to the aircraft in another wheelchair and, on arrival, from the aircraft to the baggage claim area.
