Generally, you cannot carry a traditional oxygen tank in the cabin, because it\u2019s not safe. Oxygen tanks are pressurized and they may be dangerous during flight, therefore most airlines don\u2019t allow them as carry-on luggage.<\/p>\n
But oxygen tanks can, in some instances, be checked in for passengers, but that too is limited in size, pressure and packing configuration. : Call the airline in advance to find out what their oxygen tanks policies are on airplanes.<\/p>\n
The main reason why oxygen tanks aren\u2019t allowed in the cabin is that they can be dangerous in case of fire. The oxygen tanks are high-pressured gas so they may blow up in fire or in extreme circumstances. That\u2019s why airlines restrict onboard oxygen tanks, and recommend passengers instead opt for portable oxygen concentrators (POCs).<\/p>\n
O2 tanks are limited but POCs are a permissible alternative for passengers requiring extra oxygen while flying. They are not pressurised gas-powered, so you can wear them in your plane. Rather, portable oxygen concentrators draw oxygen from the air around you and then provide it to you (the safer alternative to plane oxygen).<\/p>\n
You have to carry oxygen on a device that is certified by the airline. Auxiliary oxygen concentrators for passengers requiring oxygen therapy aboard aircrafts are light, small and easy to transport. The most common types of respiratory equipment used by the airlines are devices such as Inogen One G5, Caire Freestyle Comfort and Respironics SimplyGo.<\/p>\n
Quelques-unes des choses les plus importantes \u00e0 savoir lorsque l'on prend de l'oxyg\u00e8ne en avion :<\/p>\n
Tell the airline: Give the airline at least 48-72 hours notice that you plan to travel with oxygen. And they\u2019ll tell you if your personal oxygen concentrator will suit them.
Compatibilit\u00e9 de l'appareil : Assurez-vous que votre concentrateur d'oxyg\u00e8ne est compatible avec la compagnie a\u00e9rienne.
Ayez suffisamment de batterie : Les compagnies a\u00e9riennes souhaitent g\u00e9n\u00e9ralement que vous disposiez d'une batterie suffisante pour l'ensemble du vol, plus une heure ou deux en cas de retard.
Transportez votre appareil en cabine : Votre concentrateur d'oxyg\u00e8ne portable doit \u00eatre conserv\u00e9 en cabine lorsque vous prenez l'avion et ne doit jamais \u00eatre plac\u00e9 en soute.<\/p>\n
O2 tanks cannot be transported aboard aircrafts for safety reasons, but passengers can still carry oxygen through portable oxygen concentrators. If passengers choose an airline certified concentrator, inform the airline ahead of time, and abide by all regulations, their flights can be safe and easy. If you\u2019re a distributor, selling the right oxygen concentrators for flight can give your customers more comfort and ease of mind during travel.<\/p>\n
