A great person Sam is for all #disabled people Omniserve. I had stopped flying for over two years due to manual handling until I tried the @Eagle2EU @Eagle2Lifter and never looked back.

Would Eoghan and Duke like to see @Eagle2Lifter at Irish and all Airports? It's a change that will seriously help #WCHC #PRM avoid indignity and danger of manual lifting, just to catch a flight.
I can confirm that Gatwick Airport have 2 only Eagle Passenger Lifters – at Victoria, Australia

Thanks @Travability my Final leg from @HeathrowAirport to @ChangiAirport to @SydneyAirport was perfect from checkin to disembarking - excellent legroom just behind business class. Well done @Qantas across the three airports & @Eagle2Lifter teams.

It means that training for operation of Eagle Lifter is possible for staff at airports, such as Isle of Man.

It would be cool if @FoxNikkiFox and @FrankRGardner could go and meet @VirginAtlantic and see how good this rig is for nervous or first time flyers. #wchc #prm CAN fly.
'If you didn't have this I wouldn't be able to go on holiday." How this mock aeroplane is making flying easier for people like Tabitha who have hidden disabilities...👏🏼👇🏼 #Flying #Aeroplane #Holidays #Travel #HiddenDisabilities

This would be a good time for some great news. Belfast International Airport has now got @Eagle2Lifter @Eagle2EU . This is fantastic for people who require this level of service and who cannot get it in Dublin or Cork.

Ramp used from Ambilift to Aircraft is put in place before @Eagle2Lifter is rolled on or off the aircraft. The ramp is multi articulated to allow for differing angles. This one is on @jet2tweets ifyou are #wchc #prm planning #vacation consider @jet2tweets & @Eagle2EU transfer.

#Disabled #PRMs need a lot more support from blog's like this, well done guys. I will not fly to an #airport without an @Eagle2EU @Eagle2Lifter and on our door step @Gatwick_Airport has the Eagle 4A and 2A Lifters.

@MDBloggersCrew always request @Eagle2Lifter if required at departure and destination airports. If it's not available, ask why.

@NadiAirport is a fancy airport with all the bells & whistles, but unfortunately cannot cater to people with mobility issues in a safe & dignified way 🙁 For $20k, @Eagle2Lifter can sell you a solution to the problem. – at Melbourne, Victoria
This is our experience of getting of a plane at @NadiAirport hopefully the Royal couple can have a word in the @InvictusSydney #gameondownunder spirit 🙏🏽 @DylanAlcott
