Kuwait Airways

Not published. Kuwait Airways publishes nothing at all about battery-powered wheelchairs or mobility scooters — not on the Special Assistance form, the Medical Attention page, either baggage page, or the Conditions of Carriage. Anyone travelling with a powered chair must get a written ruling from the airline directly.

Not published. Kuwait Airways never mentions lithium-ion mobility-aid batteries. Its only lithium references are a ban on e-cigarettes in checked baggage and on attaché cases with built-in lithium batteries — neither concerns wheelchairs.

Not published; no watt-hour figure of any kind appears on Kuwait Airways' site. The ICAO/IATA default applies — see the global rules shown separately.

Not published; Kuwait Airways states no watt-hour cap for a battery removed into the cabin. The ICAO/IATA default applies — see the global rules shown separately.

Not published; Kuwait Airways states no watt-hour cap for a spare mobility-aid battery. The ICAO/IATA default applies — see the global rules shown separately.

Not published. No number of spare mobility-aid batteries is stated.

Not published. Kuwait Airways does not say whether a wheelchair battery must be removed and carried in the cabin.

Not published. Gel / AGM / sealed lead-acid / dry-cell mobility-aid batteries are not mentioned anywhere on kuwaitairways.com.

Not published for mobility aids. The Free Baggage restricted-items list bans "corrosive materials, such as mercury ... acids, alkalis, and wet cell batteries" as ordinary baggage, but that is a general dangerous-goods list; it makes no mention of, and no provision for, a wet battery installed in a wheelchair.

Not published. No terminal-insulation, disconnection or immobilisation instruction for mobility-aid batteries appears on the site.

Not published for mobility aids. Kuwait Airways' only downloadable medical form is a general Medical Information Sheet (MEDIF) on the Prerequisite Forms page; no battery spec sheet, MSDS or wheelchair form is requested.

Not published. No powered-wheelchair size limit is stated, and no hold-door or hold-compartment dimensions are given for any aircraft in the fleet.

Not published. No weight limit for a powered wheelchair is stated.

Not published. Kuwait Airways does not say where a powered wheelchair is returned on arrival.

Not published. No in-cabin stowage provision for a folding manual wheelchair appears anywhere on kuwaitairways.com. Conditions of Carriage Art. 8.8.a only says cabin items must fit under the seat or in an enclosed cabin storage compartment.

Not published. No in-cabin wheelchair stowage space or closet dimensions are given, including for flights to/from the USA.

Not published. Kuwait Airways publishes no maximum wheelchair size. The dimension tables on the Free Baggage page (158 cm / 250 cm total linear for ordinary checked bags) are general baggage limits with no stated application to mobility aids.

Not published for mobility aids. The Free Baggage page's 32 kg-per-piece handling ceiling is a general baggage rule ("as per IATA safety regulation, maximum weight of each piece shall not exceed 32 kgs") and is not stated to apply to wheelchairs, so it is not recorded here as a wheelchair limit.

Not published. Kuwait Airways does not say whether a checked wheelchair is returned at the aircraft door / jet bridge or at the baggage-claim belt.

Kuwait Airways states "KAC does not charge passengers for wheelchairs" — but that sentence sits under a heading describing the three WCHC/WCHS/WCHR wheelchairs KAC itself supplies at the airport. Nothing is published about whether a passenger's OWN wheelchair is carried free of charge or outside the checked-baggage allowance, so no fee rule for mobility-aid carriage can be recorded.

Not published. Kuwait Airways states no number of mobility devices carried per passenger. (The carry-on page allows "one pair of crutches or walking stick" as an extra cabin personal item, which is not a wheelchair allowance.)

Not published. Kuwait Airways lists WCHC ("wheelchair to the cabin seat") as a service it provides, but describes it as the passenger being carried up/down steps and to/from the cabin seat — it does not state that an on-board aisle chair is carried on any aircraft.

Not published. The Customer Service Plan mentions "lavatory availability" only as something to ask about; no accessible-lavatory information is given for any aircraft type.

Not published. Nothing on movable armrests, bulkhead seats or disability seat assignment; the Customer Service Plan only points passengers to the website or a local office for "aircraft seating configuration".
