WARNING! Passengers' own wheelchairs, regardless of their type, weight and size, are transported exclusively in the cargo compartment of the aircraft.
If you are a passenger with reduced mobility or a passenger with a disability and need additional assistance from service personnel during air travel or ground handling, you must notify SKYLINE EXPRESS Airlines about this. A request about the need for assistance for patients with limited physical capabilities must be sent no later than 48 hours before the departure of the flight.
If the event that led to the loss of mobility occurred less than 24 hours before departure, the question regarding the possibility of transportation is resolved promptly by phone numbers posted on the airline's website.
To determine the type of special service required during air transportation, some categories of passengers with limited mobility or a passenger with a disability should do a preliminary medical examination by a doctor and receive a medical opinion/certificate (certificate) from a health care institution that the passenger is not contraindicated for air transportation transport, and in some cases, that the passenger's illness does not pose a threat to others. The medical report (certificate) must be valid on the date of departure.
Such categories of passengers include:
- who have such a physical or mental health condition that is dangerous for themselves or can pose a threat or discomfort for other passengers and crew members;

No later than 72 hours before the start of the flight, the Airline must be provided with a medical report/certificate (certificate) signed by a doctor, which contains permission for the passenger to be transported by air transport, as well as specified special requirements for the conditions of transportation
The medical certificate confirms the ability of the sick passenger to make the flight without danger to his health and that there is no need to provide special medical assistance during the flight.
The medical report/certificate (certificate) should be valid on the flight departure date.
If in the period between the issuance of the medical report/certificate and the actual departure of the flight, there is a serious deterioration of the medical condition, a new medical report/certificate on the suitability of the state of health for the possibility of air transportation must be obtained.
Please note that the Airline can unilaterally terminate the passenger's air transportation contract if the passenger's state of health requires special conditions of air transportation, or threatens the safety of the passenger himself or other persons, which is confirmed by medical documents.
Passengers with a satisfactory state of health do not need to issue a medical report/certificate (certificate) for air travel, who need assistance from service personnel only for moving around the airport and during boarding and disembarking.
Such passengers can be:
- passengers who have a stable disability (since birth or over the years),
- passengers with sensory impairments (blind, deaf, mute),
- elderly passengers,
- pregnant women whose pregnancy period does not exceed 35 weeks (up to 32 weeks in case of multiple pregnancy),
