CPAP Devices
We require approval from our technical staff if you want to bring a CPAP machine inside the cabin. The device is used to treat sleep apnea, a disorder that is characterized by heavy snoring, among other things. Therefore, for us to offer an adequate electrical socket, please notify us in advance of your intention to do so via the SAF/MEDIF form, providing exact information about the model to be used and its technical specifications. Please be aware that not every type of aircraft will have this kind of socket available. Ideally, the device should run on batteries.
