I was operated on my spine for gross scoliosis and use calipers. But standing and walking short distances are also highly difficult for me. at the security point, i was always checked individually first by making me stand, and then my travel wheelchair is taken to different area to get it security checked. this process takes from 20-45 minutes at a stretch. So I always have difficulty in standing and I cant sit and transfer from and to in the airport wheelchairs, that are usually not in good condition. Every time I have to argue and convince to have my wheelchair as cabin luggage. Rarely my request was obliged. Mostly it is denied. While, lifting off/on manually to the aircraft steps, the assisting team members almost dropped me two times. Would you like any particular action taken towards this specific incident? If so what? Specific Action Needed: 1. Issue notices to security on duty and airlines ground staff regarding treatment of persons like me. 2. Assurance from them stating that they will allow my wheelchair as cabin luggage. 3. Since the Ambulift is not provided, a compensation should be paid which can be equivalent to hiring cost of Abulift 4.

It was my first air teavel experience. I was accompanied with my husband sand son. We needed to board the Air India Express flight from Mumbai to Kochi. The airport attendent was taking me through the terminal to the air craft. He said no need to go by lift and we can use escalator. I was apprehensive and told him wheelchairs cannot be taken on a escalator but he insisted telling he has taken it many a times and no need to worry. The moment we stepped on the escalator we had a disastrous fall and I rolled down all the way from it. To my luck I had a miraculous escape else the intensity of the fall was enough fatal. The assistant pleaded not to complain and we didnt. But ignorance prevails on airports and life of wheelchair users is in the hands of completely untrained personnel. Every time I board a plane I am lifted and the aisle chair tilts & shake to a dangerous extend where only your fortune can spare u a fall Would you like any particular action taken towards this specific incident? If so what? No as I do not have a proof of the incident action shall better not be taken but I want no wheelchair entry sign before the escalators on all the airports. There must be elaborate explanation to what extend aisle chair can be tilted while lifting as they carry living people and not sacks !! Was additional documentation being carried by passenger? Yes, Disability Certificate Restrictions / Problems faced Poor handling - self, Non-availability of ambulift / aerobridge / ramp, Non-availability of aisle chair, Restricted seat allocation to back row / near bathroom etc without passenger request or consent, Untrained / Unaware Staff, Too many / improper / unsafe wheelchair transfer(s) Feedback on Restrictions I Problems Aisle chair is often provided with a delay and while boarding the aircraft the chair is tilted to an unsafe level and a fall can be expected anytime.
