É possível voar com um tanque de oxigénio?

1. Há voos em que se pode voar com um tanque de oxigénio?

Generally, you cannot carry a traditional oxygen tank in the cabin, because it’s not safe. Oxygen tanks are pressurized and they may be dangerous during flight, therefore most airlines don’t allow them as carry-on luggage.

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.

2. Não permitimos tanques de oxigénio na cabina.

The main reason why oxygen tanks aren’t 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’s why airlines restrict onboard oxygen tanks, and recommend passengers instead opt for portable oxygen concentrators (POCs).

3. E quanto a outros equipamentos de oxigénio?

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).

4. Equipamento de oxigénio aprovado pela companhia aérea

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.

5. Viajar com o oxigénio: O processo

Algumas das coisas mais importantes a saber quando se toma oxigénio num voo:

Tell the airline: Give the airline at least 48-72 hours notice that you plan to travel with oxygen. And they’ll tell you if your personal oxygen concentrator will suit them.
Compatibilidade do dispositivo: Certifique-se de que o seu concentrador de oxigénio é compatível com a companhia aérea.
Ter bateria suficiente: As companhias aéreas geralmente querem que tenha bateria suficiente para todo o voo, mais uma ou duas horas em caso de atraso.
Transporte o seu dispositivo na cabina: O seu concentrador de oxigénio portátil deve ser mantido na cabina durante o voo e nunca colocado no porão.

Conclusão

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’re a distributor, selling the right oxygen concentrators for flight can give your customers more comfort and ease of mind during travel.
