Fragments only. FlexFlight publishes some assistance information but not a full mobility-aid policy. What is below is everything it actually states. Everything marked “not published” genuinely is — confirm it with the airline rather than assuming the international baseline applies.
Wet-lease / ACMI operator. FlexFlight usually flies aircraft and crew on behalf of other airlines. If your ticket says another airline, that airline’s wheelchair policy governs your booking — but the aircraft’s physical hold limits are this operator’s.
Who to contact
Transcribed from the airline’s own pages, exactly as it labels them.
- PhoneDenmark — Flexflight head office / operations (24 h charter line, not a disability desk)

No accessibility desk, no special-assistance e-mail and no assistance-request form. Battery-powered wheelchairs need Flexflight's prior approval but the site names no channel for obtaining it; the charterer or info@flexflight.dk is the only route published.
Read it from the source
18 of the unanswered fields below share one explanation: Flexflight is a Danish charter / ACMI and air-ambulance operator with no passenger-facing rulebook beyond a charter GTC and a dangerous-goods listing; on a wet-lease or charter flight the contracting airline's or charterer's mobility-aid policy applies. The rest carry their own.
Powered wheelchairs & batteries
The part that goes wrong. Battery chemistry and watt-hours decide whether your chair flies, and the rules differ depending on whether the battery can be removed.
Flexflight's own approved dangerous-goods listing for passengers (form FLX GH 008, rev. 2) accepts battery-powered wheelchairs and similar mobility devices in all three IATA categories, but every one of them is ticked "FlexFlight approval required" and "Commander must be informed of the location". No booking-lead-time is given.
Accepted with FlexFlight approval and hold carriage. Where "the design of the mobility aid does not provide adequate protection for the battery(ies)" the listing reverses this: the item is NOT permitted in hold baggage and is permitted in or as cabin baggage instead, with the commander informed.
Not published for mobility aids. Flexflight's own approved dangerous-goods listing for passengers (form FLX GH 008, rev. 2) sets no watt-hour ceiling for a wheelchair battery; its 100 Wh / 160 Wh figures apply to portable electronic devices, power banks and spare batteries.

Not published for wheelchairs. The listing's spare-battery limits (max. two 100–160 Wh spares in carry-on; max. two power banks ≤100 Wh; max. 20 spare batteries per person) are the general portable-electronics limits, not a mobility-aid allowance.
Only where the mobility aid's design does not adequately protect the battery: that row of Flexflight's own approved dangerous-goods listing for passengers (form FLX GH 008, rev. 2) bars the device from hold baggage and permits it in or as cabin baggage instead. No removal rule is published for adequately protected chairs.
"Mobility Aids: Battery-powered wheelchairs or other similar mobility devices with non-spillable wet batteries, nickel-metal hydride batteries or dry batteries" — FlexFlight approval required; permitted in or as hold baggage; not permitted in the cabin; commander must be informed of the location.
"Mobility Aids: Battery-powered wheelchairs or other similar mobility devices with spillable batteries or with lithium ion batteries" — FlexFlight approval required; permitted in or as hold baggage; NOT permitted in the cabin; commander must be informed of the location.
Not published for wheelchair batteries. The listing requires short-circuit protection for spare/loose batteries only.
Not published.
Flexflight's dangerous-goods listing is dated 13 April 2026 and is reviewed each January or on release of the next IATA DGR edition; it was approved by "NP Ground Ops". Approval must be arranged through the charterer or via info@flexflight.dk — Flexflight publishes no dangerous-goods desk.

Worth knowing
Flexflight ApS (Roskilde, Denmark) sells private-jet charter, aircraft management, air ambulance and ACMI — its own home page lists "ACMI solutions ... Please visit our ACMI section" and its terms document is headed "FLEXFLIGHT ApS — General Terms and Conditions of Charter", with the Charterer, not the passenger, as counterparty. On a wet-lease or charter flight the contracting airline's or charterer's special-assistance policy applies. The ONLY mobility-aid content Flexflight publishes is its own approved dangerous-goods listing (form FLX GH 008, rev. 2, 13 Apr 2026), which reproduces IATA DGR Table 2.3.A 67th edition: battery-powered wheelchairs are accepted in all three categories with FlexFlight approval and the commander informed; a lithium-ion chair whose design does not adequately protect the battery may not go in the hold and goes in the cabin instead. No watt-hour cap, no notice period, no fee statement, no assistance procedure and nothing at all about manual wheelchairs. The "AIRLINE TICKETS" and "TICKETS SUPPORT" links in Flexflight's own menu point at worldticket.com, a third-party ticketing provider, not at a Flexflight booking channel.
