Providing a positive, seamless experience for PRMs

The s-max aviation chair has been specifically designed to work on the variety of steps used on aircraft, and enables the passenger to be moved from the ground right to their seat in one operation.

Airports are striving to make the travel experience as positive as possible for Passengers with Reduced Mobility (PRMs), engaging with high quality service providers, and with a firm emphasis on the best training and the best equipment.

AAT’s devices are in use at more than 150 airports. The company manufactures and supplies the s-max aviation stairclimber to PRM service providers, airports, airlines and private organisations throughout the aviation industry. “The s-max aviation is very popular with operators as it is extremely versatile, compact, efficient, safe, dignified and cost-effective for boarding PRMs onto virtually all aircraft types,” Ralf Matthes, COO, AAT, commented.

The s-max aviation has been under constant development since the original version was launched around 10 years ago, with direct input from customers and aircraft operators, and has seen many significant improvements to increase the range of aircraft it can operate on. “Currently we are finalising a ‘smart step mode’, which makes the climbing process softer and even more comfortable for the passengers,” Matthes added. The s-max aviation chair has been specifically designed to work on the variety of steps used on aircraft, and enables the passenger to be moved from the ground right to their seat in one operation.

“We have and still do work closely on the ground with airport PRM service providers and airline technical staff to improve the s-max aviation chair, and we always welcome feedback from operators and passengers,” Matthes concluded.
