  1. I believe so, they have a ramp for that, they can't deny you access to travel.

  2. i'm just guessing and i may be wrong but im pretty sure that you have to ship the electric wheelchair to wherever youre going and then use one of the plane's wheelchairs when flying

  3. They will put you in an airline supplied wheel chair and put yours in the belly of the plane...it would be waiting for you as you came out of the plane...there are however a few airlines that can put you in the plane in the chair provided you have the harness package that you would use on public transportation. You would be pre-boarded and also assisted off the plane.

  5. An electric wheelchair cannot be brought on board an airplane and secured.

    There is more information at the website I've listed. I hope this helps.
