Luxair

Electric chairs are carried, but "Battery-powered wheelchairs may be dangerous for aviation and can only be carried under the following conditions" and "All lithium batteries require prior approval from Luxair", with UN 38.3 evidence produced at booking or check-in. The published size/weight and battery-count tables must be met or Luxair may refuse the chair.
