Accessibility and Special Assistance at Pakistani Airports

Passengers who need help, such as wheelchair users, older travellers or people with reduced mobility, should ask their airline for assistance in advance. Services differ by airline and airport, so confirm what is available.

How to request assistance

  • Tell your airline when you book, or as soon as possible afterwards.
  • Ask for assistance at check-in and at the gate.
  • Give details: the kind of help you need, whether you can walk to the aircraft, and any equipment you use.

Common services

  • Wheelchair or buggy assistance to the aircraft, and on arrival.
  • Priority boarding for some passengers.
  • Help with baggage and navigating the terminal, where offered.

Tips

  • Arrive early: assistance takes time to arrange. See how early to arrive.
  • Tell your pickup so they can meet you at the right place; see airport pickup etiquette.
  • Carry essential medication in hand baggage, with a prescription if needed.
  • Check the rules for medical equipment, oxygen and mobility aids with your airline.

For pilgrims

Hajj and Umrah travellers who need help should coordinate with their group leader and airline; see Hajj return flights and airport pickup.
