Reduced mobility and other disabilities

Is your mobility reduced due to disability, age or illness? Air France will assist you throughout your journey.  In the context of the health situation, Air France has put in place strict measures to welcome you safely.

In order to safeguard your health, special precautions are taken as soon as you arrive at the airport:

  • The wheelchairs at your disposal are disinfected every day and between each use.
  • Agents accompanying you must wear a mask and gloves. 
  • Plexiglas protective screens are installed on the welcome desks dedicated to you.
  • A mask will be provided to you if you do not have one.

For more information, please read about the health measures we have implemented at the airport. Some countries require special travel documents, quarantine on arrival, a recent negative Covid-19 test or other health certificates. Please check the entry and stay requirements of your transit and destination countries. For more information, please visit the TravelDoc website. Wearing a surgical mask is mandatory on board our aircraft. Please make sure you have several surgical masks for the duration of your trip. 

We have created a guide to help you plan your trip. You will find information, practical advice and an overview of the services that AirFrance has to offer.
