Braathens Regional Airways

Until 2024 the consumer site flygbra.se carried a special-assistance page and a dedicated "eldriven rullstol" (electric wheelchair) notification form. Both now 302-redirect to braathens.com (re-verified 2026-07-29) and describe a business Braathens no longer runs, so nothing from them is recorded as a current value — every field above is deliberately null. One archived statement is nonetheless worth a power-chair user's attention because it describes the physical hold of the same ATR 72-600s Braathens still flies: '*On our ATRs, we do not accept permobiles for safety reasons, due to the loading space's construction' — i.e. BRA refused power-base chairs outright on the ATR — alongside 'Helping aids cannot weigh more than 32 kg' and 'Aircraft type ATR, maximum height 60 cm x width 120 cm x depth 120 cm'. BRA also refused a Segway as checked baggage and capped oxygen bottles at 5 kg gross. ALL of that is quoted from a capture of 18 May 2024 of a retired brand site — more than two years old, never republished, and not verifiable against anything Braathens publishes today. Whether the contracting airline (SAS) applies the same ATR restriction must be confirmed with that airline before you book.

HISTORIC, NOT CURRENT POLICY, AND NOW MORE THAN TWO YEARS OLD — everything in this paragraph comes from an Internet Archive capture taken on 18 May 2024 of flygbra.se, the consumer brand BRA has since retired; flygbra.se 302-redirects to braathens.com (re-verified 2026-07-29) and braathens.com publishes no replacement. While BRA still sold its own tickets that page stated: assistance to be booked no later than 72 hours before departure via the Customer Center; 'You are allowed to bring two mobility aids free of charge, other than your baggage'; check-in at least 60 minutes before departure; 'Helping aids cannot weigh more than 32 kg'; cabin crew 'cannot lift you or assist you in the toilet (but they can help you get to and from the toilet)'; a safety assistant must be at least 18 and seated next to you and must buy a full adult ticket. Those rules ended with BRA's own ticket sales in December 2024. Do not act on any of these numbers — ask the airline whose flight number is on your ticket.

Fleet detail. Fleet is 15 ATR 72-600 turboprops, 72 seats, 42.4 cm seat width (braathens.com/fleet/atr-72-600, read live 2026-07-29); the Airbus operation, Braathens International Airways AB, went bankrupt on 30 September. Braathens publishes no hold limit of any kind today. The only ATR figures ever published were on the retired flygbra.se consumer site and are quoted here as HISTORY, from a capture of 18 May 2024 that is now over two years old: mobility aid maximum 32 kg; 'Aircraft type ATR, maximum height 60 cm x width 120 cm x depth 120 cm'; and '*On our ATRs, we do not accept permobiles for safety reasons, due to the loading space's construction' — a flat refusal of power-base chairs on the type. The same airframes are still flown under other airlines' flight numbers, so a power-chair user should treat the ATR hold as the binding physical constraint but must get the current numbers from the airline that sold the ticket, not from these.
