UPDATE - WELCOME NEWS! Effective May 13, 2009, the Department of Transportation (DOT) recognizes portable oxygen concentrators (POCs) as personal assistive devices and has mandated that air carriers allow approved POCs on board.
That means that you do not have to worry about which airline you choose - they all MUST accept ALL FAA approved POCs. The ruling applies to all flights that have a starting point or ending point in the United States. See our news article below.
If you purchased a DeVilbiss iGo or an OxLife Independence from OxiMedical prior to January 10, 2010, you should have received a FAA approval sticker in the mail, which needs to be affixed to your portable oxygen unit. All iGo and Independence concentrators purchased after this date have the FAA approval sticker.
You don’t have to worry about which airline you select because all carriers that depart or land in the United States must accept all FAA-approved portable oxygen concentrators.
