It is wholly unacceptable that patients with pulmonary hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, muscular dystrophy and other conditions which require supplemental oxygen when travelling by air are forced to pay for supplemental oxygen on flights. This represents an unjust tax on the disabled. The Prime Minister must take action to force airlines operatoring in the UK to allow passengers requiring in-flight supplemental oxygen to either bring personal oxygen equipment on board and use it, subject to necessary security checks, or to have supplemental oxygen provided for them by the airline, in both cases without charge.
