Drive Medical Aisle Chair | SkyMaster Transfer Wheelchair for Airplanes

For airlines to comply with US Department of Transportation laws, they must provide accessibility for customers at all times during travel. The Drive Medical Aisle Chair | SkyMaster Transfer Chair for Airplanes meets 14 CFR Part 382, ensuring that passengers with limited mobility can expect the same quality of service as other customers on their flight. It is a compact wheelchair designed to help patients move through the airplane before, during, and after travel. It has a lightweight, foldable frame, which makes it easy for the operator to set up and move up and down the aisles.

This Onboard Wheelchair by Drive Medical features brakes that lock in the front. When locked, these prevent the chair from getting away from the caretaker and unintentionally rolling down the aisle. Swivel-style casters in the back facilitate smoother driving, making it easier to turn in tight spaces. Cross-body safety belts keep the patient from falling out of the seat during transfers and have a padded section up top for improved comfort.

The seat and backrest have a generous amount of cushion, which can improve comfort for the person riding in the chair. It also features adjustable headrests, which can reduce impact on the head and neck during transfers. This chair is ideal for patients up to 300 pounds and has a durable ABS frame that's designed to last. It is also made with fire-resistant materials that comply with FAR standards.
