WHAT IT IS

Mobility help arranged before you land, not improvised at the door

Nairobi's airports are hard on foot even for a confident traveller, and much harder for anyone who uses a wheelchair or tires quickly. The assistance available on the day is limited and handed out first-come, first-served, so a passenger who arrives with nothing arranged can wait a very long time.

We arrange the assistance in advance and put a named person on it. Depending on what you ask for, that can be an airport wheelchair and a trained pusher waiting at the aircraft door, a companion guiding the passenger through immigration and baggage, or help boarding and settling into the seat on the way out. We confirm the details with the airport before the flight and send you the name of the person who will meet you.

If the passenger travels with their own wheelchair we can have it carried and returned at the door, and we are glad to arrange assistance for a companion or family member travelling alongside. Tell us plainly what is needed and we will tell you plainly what we can do.

Book at least 48 hours ahead so the airport can arrange the equipment

QUESTIONS

Wheelchair Services FAQs

Either. The airport can supply a wheelchair and a pusher, or we can carry the passenger's own wheelchair through and return it at the aircraft door. Tell us which you need in the form and we arrange it with the airline and the terminal in advance.

At least 48 hours, so the airline can be notified on the passenger's booking and the terminal can assign staff. We can sometimes arrange it sooner — ask us and we will tell you honestly whether it is possible.

Yes. One companion is escorted through with the passenger at no extra charge. Give us their name in the notes so the terminal is expecting two people.

No. We arrange wheelchair and mobility assistance for arrivals, departures and transit passengers, including passengers connecting between flights. Choose the flow that matches the journey in the form.
