Onboard medical oxygen

Oxygen concentrators (POC)

Portable oxygen concentrators (POC), ventilators, respirators, and continuous positive airway pressure machines that display a manufacturer's label according to FAA requirements are considered special assistance devices and may be carried and used on board Copa Airlines flights at no additional charge.

The FAA prohibits the use of personal oxygen units during the flight, as they contain compressed gas or liquid oxygen and are considered hazardous materials.

Except for those listed below, POCs must bear the following statement in red letters:

“The manufacturer of this POC has determined this device conforms to all applicable FAA acceptance criteria for POC carriage and use on board aircraft”

If the device does not have the required label, the models listed below will be accepted:

Note:

These devices must meet the size and weight requirements of a carry-on bag to fit underneath the seat or in an overhead compartment. Otherwise, they must be transported as checked baggage.
Other device brands and models without batteries may be transported in the cabin.
Aircraft in-seat electrical power is not available for devices. Therefore, customers should have an appropriate supply of fully charged batteries for the flight, plus three hours of extra battery time for any unforeseen event.
You must ensure that the additional batteries are properly protected against short circuiting, packing them so that the batteries do not come into contact with metal objects, including terminals of other batteries.
Some seat restrictions may be necessary to comply with certain FAA safety rules.
When connecting with any flight of another airline other than Copa Airlines, the passenger is responsible for making arrangements and confirming acceptance of the device directly with the other airline.
