How should Breeze handle a passenger requiring wheelchair assistance?

• A. Disallow wheelchair assistance to expedite seating.
• B. Provide self-provided seating.
• C. Provide approved wheelchair service per policy, ensure accessible routes and seating as requested, assist with boarding/deplaning, and document any equipment transfer or special needs.
• D. Ignore the wheelchair request.

Answer: (C)

Providing wheelchair assistance per policy means arranging and delivering approved wheelchair service, guiding the passenger along accessible routes to and from the aircraft, seating them in the requested or most appropriate location, assisting with boarding and deplaning, and documenting any equipment transfer or other special needs. This approach ensures safety, accessibility, and dignity for the passenger, while also keeping clear records of how equipment is managed and what accommodations were provided. It aligns with Breeze procedures and legal requirements for accessibility. Choosing anything else would fall short: denying wheelchair assistance ignores policy and passenger needs; offering self-provided seating bypasses approved accommodations and could compromise safety; and ignoring the request fails to provide necessary support and access.
