American Airlines drops cargo weight limits on wheelchairs
American Airlines announced removal of cargo weight caps of 300 to 400 pounds for mobility devices and wheelchairs on its Embraer and Bombardier jets. The change follows complaints from wheelchair travel advocate John Morris and reviews by the safety team and FAA. The policy shift aims to safely accommodate customers with wheelchairs across aircraft, addressing earlier restrictions tied to Canadian guidance.
