Satair and Mercury Products sign five-year global distribution agreement for Airchair I and II

Satair, an Airbus Services company, and Airchair, an innovative supplier of on-board wheelchair solutions, have signed a new five-year global distribution agreement covering Airchair I and Airchair II. This marks the first collaboration between the two companies and reflects their shared commitment to improving the passenger experience for travellers with reduced mobility.

Airchair I has been in operation with airlines since 2007; Airchair II has been developed to fully comply with the latest US Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations on accessibility.

Compact, lightweight and easy to handle, the Airchair enables passengers with reduced mobility to access aircraft lavatories in greater comfort and dignity during flight.

By working together, Satair and Airchair are helping airlines worldwide meet evolving accessibility standards while providing a meaningful improvement to the travel experience of passengers with reduced mobility.

Matt Jessee, Head of Business Development at Satair, commented: “This agreement with Mercury Products for their industry-leading Airchair products represents an important step in broadening our cabin portfolio with increased passenger-centric solutions. By ensuring global availability of Airchair’s innovative products, we are supporting airlines in meeting regulatory requirements while helping to deliver a more dignified travel experience for all passengers.”

“We are delighted to be partnering with Satair to bring Airchair I and II to airlines around the world. This collaboration not only expands our reach but also reinforces our mission to make air travel more accessible and inclusive for passengers with reduced mobility.” Sarah McOnie, Business Development Director at Airchair said.
