Passeggeri a ridotta mobilità - Forlì Airport

Il Regolamento (CE) n. 1107/2006 garantisce ai passeggeri con disabilità o a mobilità ridotta (PRM) il diritto di poter fruire nel trasporto aereo di un servizio adeguato alle proprie esigenze e senza alcuna forma di discriminazione. Il Regolamento prevede l’assistenza obbligatoria e gratuita.

 

The Company F.A. S.r.l., as Manager of the airport of Forlì, through the employment of specialized and adequately trained staff, undertakes to guarantee the provisions of EU Regulation 1107/2006 on the rights of persons with disabilities or reduced mobility in air transport.
This Regulation stipulates that in air transport, as in other aspects of daily life, disabled persons and persons with reduced mobility have the same rights as all other citizens to free movement, freedom of choice and non-discrimination, ensuring accessibility to air transport without discrimination and without additional costs, for persons with disabilities or reduced mobility.

Here’s what you need to know:

  • Se hai bisogno di assistenza, è importante che tu proceda a prenotare in anticipo il servizio. In questo modo l’aeroporto e il vettore aereo potranno predisporre al meglio il servizio in tutte le fasi del tuo viaggio e soddisfare le tue necessità.
  • Per garantire un servizio adeguato alle tue esigenze, l’assistenza va pre-notificata alla compagnia aerea, all’agenzia di viaggio o al tour operator al momento della prenotazione del volo o, al più tardi, almeno 48 ore prima della partenza.
  • È cura della Compagnia aerea inoltrare la richiesta a tutti gli aeroporti toccati dal tuo itinerario di viaggio / È compito della compagnia aerea informare tutti gli aeroporti toccati dall’itinerario.
  • Show up at the airport well in advance, so that you can carry out all the operations scheduled for departure in time, in order to ensure a better organization of your assistance;
  • When booking your flight, inform the Airline of your need to travel with a wheelchair, electric or folding, or any other walking aid;
  • Passengers with arms or legs in plaster cast or fences may travel by plane, provided that the cast took place at least 48 hours before the flight. A medical certificate clearly certifying fitness to fly is required.

 

In caso di mancata richiesta o di pre-notifica in ritardo, l’aeroporto farà̀ del proprio meglio per assisterti nel minor tempo possibile, tuttavia potrebbero aumentare i tempi di attesa prima di  ricevere assistenza da un nostro Operatore. La richiesta anticipata dell’assistenza è fondamentale per permettere all’aeroporto di fornire al passeggero un servizio adeguato.
