Barrier-free travel

Leipzig/Halle Airport is designed so that disabled people can move around without any difficulty. Toilets, lifts, phones, shops and eateries all have easy access.

Passengers with restricted mobility or a disability can obtain support from the PRM service provided by the airport services. The support service, which provides assistance for affected people on behalf of the airlines, helps them on the way to and from the aircraft, when checking in their luggage or during passport and customs checks. 

Please inform your airline or your travel agency that you wish to make use of the support services at Leipzig/Halle Airport at least 48 hours before your departure.

If you have any other questions, you can contact our PRM service department by sending an e-mail to: PRM(at)leipzig-halle(dot)aero.

Free services

The following services are free of charge if you:

  • permanently depend on a wheelchair
  • cannot climb any stairs
  • need a wheelchair for longer distances

Leipzig/Halle Airport grants people with a disability a 100% discount on the parking fees when they use the car parks and the multi-storey car park. The discount is given if you show your European parking permit for disabled people (“blue parking badge”).

Please take a parking ticket when you drive into the parking area or enter the multi-storey car park. After your return flight, your parking ticket will be activated by the employees on the airport information desk/the Parking Service Center if you show your European parking badge for disabled people.

Departing

Support:

  • when handing in your luggage and checking in;
  • during security and passport checks;
  • when making your way to the gate and preferential boarding on the plane.

If you would like to take your electric wheelchair with you, it must be stored in the hold as bulky luggage. It is therefore necessary for you to change into a folding wheelchair for the journey to the gate. You will then board the plane in a special wheelchair.
If you arrive in a manual wheelchair, change into the special wheelchair just before you board the plane. Your wheelchair will then be stowed in the cargo hold.
