Disabled people who are hard to walk There are things that are very popular when traveling overseas. It is a power transmission device that automatically moves you forward when you put it in a wheelchair. It will be very comfortable. I will even give you a free loan from the airport to travel abroad.

But an airline refused to recognize it and could not take it unconditionally, so it ruined the first overseas trip of a young couple. It is Air Busan, a subsidiary of Asiana Airlines. Today (20th), we will look into the behavior of our companies that have just been dulled by the 'I have been informed' on the day of the disabled.

Passing a power tool to a manual wheelchair allows the wheelchair to move without having to push the wheel by hand. Uphill is no problem.

Usually, when you are climbing uphill, the caregiver pushes the wheelchair from behind.

However, if you have an electric kite kit installed, you can go along side by side like this.

[Jo Yoon Geun / Director of Welfare Facility Management Team for Disabled Persons: It is always a role to push from behind. It is not a companion position in travel, but a fuzzy position behind. But if you use this, you'll have a conversation ... .]

These manual wheelchair transmission kits fulfill the standards for carry-on luggage and are also available at the airport.

Naju-chan, a physically disabled person, recently planned to go on a trip by renting a kit.

After being married to Guam for the first time abroad, he was excited about the marriage, while Air Busan stopped the kit on board.

[Air Busan official: I told you, this is law. When we reported to the Ministry of Land for specific regulations, we reported that we could not wheelchair because we could not use electric wheel.

What about other airlines?

[Airline Employee: (It's under the wheelchair, lithium ion battery ...) Please bring it on board.

[B Airline staff: You can take it on board. You will check once at the search bar.]

There was no airline that stopped the import.

Air Busan misinterpreted the mobilization kits for people with disabilities as one of the electric wheels used by non-disabled people for leisure purposes.

In the end, I was expecting a leisurely and happy outing, but my first overseas trip remained a memory of suffering.

[Naju / Disability Level 1: There are a lot of ramps (even in Guam). I dragged the kids there ... I have to rest a little, but my wife is so hard to travel ... I'm so sorry.]

Air Busan said SBS will review the regulations as it enters the coverage and allow it to be carried on board.
