Whether you're traveling due to a disability, injury, or age-related condition, Korean Air offers professional and compassionate assistance to make your journey smooth from start to finish.

What Is Korean Air Wheelchair Assistance?

Wheelchair Assistance is a free service that provides essential support for passengers who require help navigating through the airport or during boarding and deplaning. This includes wheelchair access, airport escorts, priority boarding, and in-flight support, depending on individual needs. The service is available at all Korean Air operating airports and is tailored to each passenger’s mobility requirements. Whether you need a wheelchair for long airport distances or complete assistance from check-in to your seat, Korean Air ensures your experience is safe, respectful, and efficient.

How to Request Assistance

To ensure smooth coordination, passengers are encouraged to request wheelchair assistance at least 48 hours before departure. This can be done during the booking process on Korean Air’s website or by contacting their customer service center. You can also add the request later through the "Manage Booking" section. Passengers should clearly specify the level of assistance needed. Korean Air offers several service levels, such as assistance to/from the aircraft door, or all the way to/from the seat inside the cabin.
