The Place

Does anyone know if Ryanair caters for a disabled person with a small mobility scooter (goes in the boot of a family sized car with ease).

Is it in their site anywhere? I don't know personally.

Can I bring my own electric wheelchair/mobility scooter.
Yes you can travel with your own electric wheelchair or mobility scooter. But you are required to advise us at least 48 hours in advance of your flight of the make, model, weight and lowest collapsed height of the wheelchair.

Passengers are asked to bring the operating instructions to the airport.

In order to be accepted onto the flight electric wheelchairs and mobility scooters must comply with the following rules:

We only accept dry/gel cell or lithium-ion (wheelchair) batteries (lithium-ion batteries cannot exceed a total of 300 watts)
The dimensions of the wheelchair when collapsed must not exceed 81cms (height), 119cms (width) and 119cms (depth)
The battery power must be isolated and exposed terminals protected from short circuiting, to protect the wheelchair/mobility aid from inadvertent activation, please remove the key, deactivate using the joystick or deactivate using an isolation switch or buttons, or other isolation mechanism (such as Anderson Connector or Airsafe plug ).
Some things to note:

The 32kg single item weight limit does not apply to mobility equipment.

No wheelchairs are permitted to travel in the aircraft cabin and segways cannot be carried.

We recommend that travel insurance cover for their mobility aids be purchased as an airline’s liability is limited under the Montreal Convention 1999.



Onboard aisle wheelchair 



We have an onboard aisle wheelchair on each Ryanair aircraft, which crew use to assist reduced mobility passengers getting to and from the aircraft toilet door.


For health and safety reasons our crew cannot assist customers with the following:

Moving customers from their seat to the onboard wheelchair or from the chair onto the toilet
Administering medication

Onboard Toilets



We have 3 toilets onboard - 2 at the rear and 1 at the front of the aircraft, they are all equipped with a grip bar.

Many Thanks Steve. I think everything is covered by that information.
