Air travel presents significant challenges for individuals relying on electric wheelchairs and scooters as well as the airlines that are required to transport them.
These devices were not designed to be lifted; thus, making it a challenge for airlines to load and unload them in the plane cargo hold.
This leads to damage which not only is costly for the airline but creates a significant problem for the people who rely on these devices in their daily lives.
Since the chairs are often customized to the individual, the time it takes to repair or replace these devices can be devastating to the health and happiness of the individual.
The AeroPod is a patent-pending protective carrier designed to safeguard electric wheelchairs & scooters while standardizing handling procedures. Created by Wheel Handi Aviation, it ensures safe, efficient, & stress-free air travel.
Since the AeroPod is shipped with the device, there is no need to have additional equipment at every destination, reducing the upfront cost and maintenance of more complicated systems.
Wheel Handi Aviation was a company developed with the goal of reducing the stress of traveling for those requiring the use of mobility aids.
The AeroPod was inspired by a personal experience eight years ago. During a trip to Baltimore, the inventor’s brother had personal electric wheelchair severely damaged by baggage handlers. The devastating impact this had on his brother's health highlighted the need for a protective solution, sparking the creation of the AeroPod to prevent such issues for other travelers. .
At Wheel Handi Aviation, we are dedicated to making air travel more accessible for individuals with mobility challenges. Our flagship product, the Wheel Handi AeroPod, allows for safe and easy transportation of electric wheelchairs and scooters, ensuring a seamless travel experience.
