When booking your flight, please inform Aeroméxico if you need to travel with a wheelchair or other mobility aids. You may transport up to two mobility aids (e.g., a wheelchair and a walker) free of charge.
Depending on your assistance requirements, an airport-provided wheelchair may be necessary. For detailed information, we recommend consulting the website of the European departure airport.
While Aeroméxico makes every effort to transport mobility devices safely, certain factors may limit their transportation. To ensure clarity on any restrictions, please provide details about the type of wheelchair or mobility device you wish to transport:
Manual Wheelchair
Your manual wheelchair will be collected either at the check-in counter or after boarding assistance has been provided. It will then be transported in the aircraft’s cargo hold.
Wheelchairs and Mobility Devices Powered by Non-Sealed (Spillable) Batteries
Aeroméxico does not accept wheelchairs or mobility devices powered by non-sealed (spillable) batteries.
Wheelchairs and Mobility Devices Powered by Sealed (Non-Spillable) Batteries
If your wheelchair or mobility device is powered by sealed batteries and can be placed upright in the cargo compartment, the battery may remain attached, provided the following conditions are met:
- The battery is securely attached to the wheelchair or mobility device.
- The battery’s electrical contacts are protected against short circuits.
- The electrical circuits are isolated.
- One (1) spare battery up to 300 Wh or two (2) non-spillable batteries up to 160 Wh are permitted.

Wheelchairs and Mobility Devices Powered by Lithium-Ion Batteries
- Lithium-ion batteries are classified as hazardous and are subject to the following conditions for transport:
- The batteries must be of a tested type and comply with the UN Manual of Tests and Criteria, Part III, subsection 38.3.
- Lithium batteries may remain installed in the mobility aid if they are securely attached and protected from damage by its design. Alternatively, they may be removed following the manufacturer’s instructions.
- If the user removes the battery (as per the device’s design), it must not exceed 300 Wh.
- If the battery remains installed, there is no Wh limit.
- Passengers are allowed to carry:
One (1) spare battery not exceeding 300 Wh, or two (2) spare batteries, each not exceeding 160 Wh. Passengers are only allowed to carry spare batteries when using the mobility aid. Spare and removed batteries must be transported exclusively in the passenger cabin and placed in strong, durable packaging.
If the mobility aid does not meet safety requirements, it may not be permitted on board. To ensure compliance, please provide the wheelchair’s technical data sheet, including detailed battery specifications, to our Special Services team when booking.
