Quality requirement and rights
Both in the EU and Denmark, efforts are made to improve the rights and conditions for airline passengers with reduced mobility.
Falck and CPH provide assistance to passengers with reduced mobility under regulation number EU 1107/2006.
Pursuant to the regulation on the rights of PRMs, airlines cannot refuse to accept a reservation of a ticket or the boarding of an aircraft by a person due to his/her disability.
Exceptions due to aviation safety
Certain exceptions apply for aviation safety reasons. An airline may refuse to accept a reservation by a PRM, or refuse to let such a person board its aircraft, or demand that a PRM who is travelling is accompanied by another person, if
- this is necessary due to applicable safety regulations;
- the size of the aircraft or a motivated lack of cabin crew prevents the carriage of PRMs
- the airline motivates in writing within five working days its refusal to the PRM to accept the reservation or its refusal to let person board its aircraft, or notifies the person that it is a condition that he/she must be accompanied.
Complains about a safety exemption
A disabled person or a person with reduced mobility who believes that the rules have been violated may bring the matter before the managing body of the airport (e-mail: kundeservice@cph.dk) or the relevant airline. If the disabled person or the person with reduced mobility does not get a satisfactory treatment there, he/she may send a complaint to the Danish Transport, Construction and Housing Authority. Complaints should be sent to:
Danish Transport, Construction and Housing Authority
Carsten Niebuhrs Gade 43
DK-1577 København V
