Registration of assistance service at the airport

At Marabu Airlines, we want your journey to be as smooth and comfortable as possible. To help us prepare the support you need, we recommend pre-booking any complimentary assistance or services as early as you can—and no later than 48 hours before your flight.

If you arrange special assistance for your outbound journey, we’ll automatically book it for your return as well, as long as you're flying with Marabu both ways.

On the day of travel, please arrive at the airport at least two hours before your flight to allow plenty of time to reach your departure gate and enjoy priority boarding.

To arrange your assistance service:

  1. Choose the type of support that suits you best. You’ll find details about the available assistance options further down on this page.
  2. Submit your request using our online form.
  3. Receive confirmation. Once everything is arranged, we’ll send you written confirmation to let you know your assistance is booked.

Assistance Services You Can Pre-Book

We’re here to support you every step of the way. If you have reduced mobility, you can pre-book one of the following assistance services—free of charge. Each option is designed to meet different needs, so you can choose the one that suits you best:

Wheelchair assistance to/from the departure gate (WCHR)

  • For passengers who can walk short distances and use stairs but need a wheelchair to get through the airport

Wheelchair assistance to/from the aircraft door (WCHS)

  • For passengers who can walk short distances but cannot use stairs. Includes wheelchair support and assistance boarding via lift or ramp.

Wheelchair assistance to/from the aircraft seat (WCHC)

  • For passengers who cannot walk at all. Includes full support from check-in to your seat on board and after landing.

To help us prepare, please pre-book your assistance at least 48 hours before your flight.

Passengers with Other Physical Disabilities

If you have a physical disability such as visual, hearing, or speech impairment and need support getting to the departure gate or boarding the aircraft, you can pre-book a special assistance service tailored to your needs:

Assistance for passengers with impaired hearing

  • Book this service if you may have difficulty hearing or understanding airport announcements or instructions from our crew.

Assistance for passengers with impaired vision

  • Book this service if you may have trouble reading airport signs, following instructions on board, or navigating to your gate independently.

Assistance for passengers with impaired speech

  • Book this service if you may find it difficult to communicate verbally with airport staff or cabin crew.

Please let us know your needs when booking so we can provide the right support for your journey.

Passengers with Non-Physical Disabilities

If you have a non-physical disability—such as Autism, Asperger’s, or a cognitive condition—and need support getting to the departure gate or boarding the aircraft, you can pre-book assistance tailored to your needs.

If you’re travelling alone, you must be able to understand and follow safety instructions from the crew. If this isn’t possible, we kindly ask that you travel with a carer or companion who can support you throughout the journey.
