additional oxygen on board

You have to submit your request for additional oxygen no later than 72 hours prior to the departure of the flight at the transavia.com call centre. The cost for using oxygen cylinders is € 75 per cylinder of (approximately) 400 litres. On flights from/to Paris-Orly , this service is not yet available.

We can only meet your request if:

You are able to operate equipment yourself or travel with someone who is able to assist you with the procedures required to administer oxygen on board.
You are in the possession of a medical certificate, which is signed by an independent doctor and which states the number of litres of oxygen required per minute and whether the oxygen is needed on standby or continuously.
You need less than 1500 litres of oxygen per flight. If you require more, we cannot provide you with transport because of the safety regulations.

In addition, the following applies:

That you will be refused on board unless you – in the reasonable judgement of transavia.com – are travelling in the company of a suitable companion.
The use of your own oxygen cylinders on board is not allowed, but you may of course transport your own oxygen cylinders for use at the place of destination.
Requests for oxygen is only possible for flights that depart from or arrive at Amsterdam Airport Schiphol and Rotterdam Airport.
Because of your request for oxygen during the flight, we would like to ask you to report for the flight well in advance, as you will be the first to board.

Is it possible to take along full oxygen cylinders to be used at my destination?
transavia.com offers you the possibility to take full oxygen cylinders along with you on the flights (as hand luggage) with you for use at your destination. In this regard, a number of arrangements have been made with the specialised companies Linde Gas Benelux and Medidis. Linde Gas Benelux and Medidis will inspect all the cylinders that have to be transported and provide them with a certificate.

Among others, this certificate contains information about the requirements an oxygen cylinder should meet, such as packaging, weight, maximum volume and maximum pressure when filled. The certificate should always be completed by the companies Linde Gas Benelux or Medidis (and, among others, be provided with a stamp). The cabin staff and the handler inspect the oxygen cylinders on the basis of this certificate. You therefore must be able to present this certificate at all times.

Your own full oxygen cylinders should always be transported in the luggage hold. A maximum of four (own) cylinders apply per flight. When you make a request for the transport of your own oxygen cylinders to the transavia.com call centre we refer you to the companies Linde Gas Benelux of Medidis. The contact details are:

Linde Gas Benelux, tel. 010 - 2461616 / fax 010 - 2461600
