PAS

VERDICT RE-VERIFIED 2026-07-29 and CONFIRMED: PAS publishes nothing at all about wheelchairs, mobility aids, disability assistance or mobility-aid batteries, in English or in Arabic. "PAS" (IATA UF, ICAO PER) is Petroleum Air Services, an Egyptian operator whose own site describes it as "the sole helicopter and fixed-wing service provider for all local and international oil and gas companies in Egypt, both off- and onshore", carrying client personnel from Cairo and its Red Sea, Mediterranean and Sinai bases to rigs and platforms, plus "a wide range of Charters", VIP flights on DHC-8 and CRJ900 aircraft, air taxi work, "Airline Feeder Services", third-party maintenance and airborne geophysical survey. operator_type was changed from scheduled_passenger to acmi_charter to reflect the contract/charter model on the airline's own services page; passenger_service is left true because PAS does carry passengers (crew transport, charter and VIP). DOCUMENT CLASSES CHECKED, so the silence is checkable rather than asserted: (1) EVERY PAGE OF THE SITE — enumerated through the airline's own WordPress REST API. /wp-json/wp/v2/pages returns 40 pages (including duplicate and Arabic variants), and all of them were retrieved and searched: about, services (five variants), fleet (four variants), bases, airports, clients, business, contact (two), careers (two), media (two), news, latest-news, magazine, resources, booking, privacy-policy, terms-conditions, the two Arabic خدماتنا pages and the jobs/dashboard scaffolding. Across roughly 85,000 characters of page text the words 'wheelchair', 'disability', 'disabled', 'special assistance', 'reduced mobility', 'battery', 'lithium' and even 'baggage' do not occur once; the only hits for 'mobility' are the marketing phrase "supporting tour operator's mobility". (2) THE SITE'S OWN SEARCH (/wp-json/wp/v2/search) returns ZERO results for wheelchair, disability, accessibility, baggage and assistance. (3) CONDITIONS OF CARRIAGE: none exists. The page called 'Terms & Conditions' is a website terms-of-use notice. The only PDF on the site whose name suggested a contract — /wp-content/uploads/2017/10/terms-and-conditions-final.pdf — turns out to be the bilingual General Terms & Conditions of Bid 1/2023, a tender for the SALE OF SURPLUS HELICOPTERS ('Offers to be submitted by registered mail in a sealed envelope to Head of fleet committee'). It is not a passenger document. (4) DANGEROUS GOODS / BAGGAGE: no such page and no such PDF. The media library holds exactly six PDFs — the helicopter conversion training course, two issues of the PAS corporate magazine, the company Energy Policy in English and in Arabic, and the helicopter-sale tender above — plus two Word press releases. The 69 news posts (about 39,000 characters) and the six individual aircraft pages under /fleet/ were searched too, with no hits. There is no DG notice, no restricted-items list and no baggage rule anywhere. (5) BOOKING CHANNEL: /booking/ exists but is an empty template with no booking engine and no special-service request; PAS does not sell seats to the public. (6) ARABIC VERSION: the Arabic pages that exist (the two خدماتنا service pages, ?lang=ar) are translations of the corporate services copy and contain no wheelchair or disability content either. A wheelchair user on a PAS flight would be flying under a corporate or charter contract, so the CONTRACTING CLIENT and PAS commercial services (com@pas.com.eg, +20 2 2403 2180) are the only route to an answer, and it should be obtained in writing before travelling.
