Gulf Air

Not published. The Medical Cases, Personal items, Baggage information, Special baggage and Prohibited Items pages and the Conditions of Carriage never mention a powered, battery or electric wheelchair — only 'a fully collapsible wheelchair'. Gulf Air has no dangerous-goods page (/baggage/dangerous-goods and /restricted-items 404); CoC 8.3.1.1 just incorporates the ICAO TI and IATA DGR by reference, 'further information available from us on request'. A powered-chair user must clarify with the airline directly.

Not published for mobility aids. Gulf Air's only published lithium rules cover CPAP/POC medical devices (100–160 Wh, max two spares in carry-on), smart bags (battery must be removable) and power banks (max two per person, each 100 Wh or less, cabin only, never in checked baggage, and the Xiaomi PB2030MI banned outright) — none of which is a wheelchair rule.

Not published. gulfair.com never mentions a wheelchair battery at all, so no watt-hour figure exists for one left installed in the chair; Gulf Air's only lithium limits are the CPAP/POC medical-device ones. ICAO/IATA default applies — see global rules.

Not published; Gulf Air does not address removing a wheelchair battery into the cabin. ICAO/IATA default applies — see global rules.

Not published for mobility aids. For CPAP/POC devices Gulf Air allows lithium-ion batteries over 100 Wh but not over 160 Wh, max two spares in carry-on; the Prohibited Items page separately caps power banks at 100 Wh each, maximum two per person. Both are portable-electronics rules, not wheelchair rules, so neither is imported here.

Not published for mobility aids. Two spare batteries are allowed in carry-on for an approved CPAP/POC device only.

Not published — Gulf Air does not say whether a wheelchair battery must be removed.

Not published — no gel / AGM / sealed-lead-acid mobility-aid rule.

Not published — Gulf Air gives no wet/spillable wheelchair-battery rule.

Not published for wheelchairs. Gulf Air requires spare CPAP/POC batteries to be 'packaged and protected from short circuit and physical damage', but states no wheelchair terminal-insulation or immobilisation requirement.

No battery spec sheet or MSDS demanded. A Carriage of Medical Passengers (CMP) form completed by the treating doctor is required only where the passenger's condition needs special in-flight care or supervision.

Not published — Gulf Air gives no powered-wheelchair size limit or hold-door figures.

Not published — no weight cap for a powered wheelchair; mobility aids are exempt from the 32 kg repacking rule but no upper figure is given.

Not published — no statement about returning a powered chair at the aircraft door.

Not applicable / not published — Gulf Air loads a collapsible wheelchair in the hold at the gate rather than stowing it in the cabin.

No maximum wheelchair dimensions published. The 158 cm / 190 x 75 x 65 cm figures on the baggage pages are for ordinary and oversized sports baggage, not mobility aids, so they are not recorded here.

No weight limit published for mobility aids — and they are expressly exempt from the general rule: 'No single baggage may exceed 32 kg or the maximum dimensions of 158 cm (62 inches). Baggage over 32 kg must be repacked (except for mobility aids)'.

Gulf Air says the collapsible wheelchair is loaded into the hold at the departure gate, but does not say whether it is returned at the aircraft door on arrival or at the baggage belt.

No number published. The free personal-items list allows 'a fully collapsible wheelchair' and 'a pair of crutches and/or braces or other prosthetic device provided that the customer is dependent on them', but Gulf Air does not state how many mobility devices may be carried.

Unclear. Gulf Air says it offers 'a range of standard equipment such as stretchers, wheelchairs available upon request', but does not say whether an on-board aisle chair is carried on the aircraft.

Not published — no accessible-lavatory information for any Gulf Air aircraft type.
