QUESTION: I require medical oxygen when I travel by air. Are airlines required to provide in-flight medical oxygen and, if so, may they charge passengers for providing medical oxygen?
ANSWER: Although many of the major U.S. carriers currently provide in-flight medical oxygen for a fee, part 382 does not require them to do so. Those carriers that choose to provide in-flight medical oxygen may charge passengers for this service, just as they may for other optional services, such as stretcher service. [Sec. 382.33]
