New Airshells Safety Bags Protect Wheelchairs and Walkers In-flight


NEW YORK --(Business Wire)--

Now you can travel with ease of mind knowing that your wheelchair or walker is safely protected during your flight. Danish company Airshells has offered travelers in Europe this service for over 6 years, and the unique solution is now available in the US in partnership with United Airlines at all their 250 domestic airports.

Damage to wheelchairs during air travel is frequent. A broken wheelchair can take months to repair, effectively putting people's lives on hold.

The Airshells safety bags minimize this risk, as they are well-padded to protect your wheelchair or walker from rough treatment and shocks by airport handling. The safety bags also eliminate scratches and help airport handlers to get a secure grip on the often-bulky items.

Reputable accessibility groups such as the United Spinal Association, Open Doors Organization, CFDC and nAblement all recommend Airshells' solutions and welcome the company's expansion into he US.



"We have realized the huge demand for our services in the US and we are thrilled to team up with United Airlines as well as various major accessibility organizations. Though the operation is huge our first priority still is the individual traveler who will benefit greatly from our services," says Kim Christensen, CEO of Airshells.
