The Breathe Freely Airlines & Oxygen Campaign

Many people with lung conditions, such as PH, need oxygen therapy (supplementary oxygen) to help them breathe easier. This is because some people with PH have low levels of oxygen in their blood. Breathing difficulties faced by people with PH can become worse when flying. This is because the level of oxygen in aircraft cabins is lower than at ground level.

Unfortunately, many airlines charge for the use of supplementary oxygen on aircraft. This charge differs greatly, depending on the airline (check with your airline before you fly).

The Breathe Freely Airlines & Oxygen Campaign is supported by the PHA UK, the British Lung Foundation and the Cystic Fibrosis Trust. It aims to:

• ensure all charges for supplementary oxygen are dropped by all airlines using UK airports
• ensure airlines allow passengers to bring their own supplementary oxygen.
