FAA/Transport Canada now approves POCs in aircraft cabins. We are pleased to offer a 10% discount on POC rentals for all Air Canada passengers. Our POCs provide oxygen for the aircraft but also at your destination and on your return trip.
Air Canada no longer provides or allows compressed tank medical oxygen, or personal oxygen systems containing liquid oxygen, onboard. You can, however, use approved POCs with advance notification.
To rent a POC for an Air Canada trip:
- Complete your travel plans and purchase your ticket with Air Canada.
- Contact OxygenToGo personnel to guide you through our Rental Agreement and all steps necessary to rent a POC. Let your OxygenToGo representative know you are traveling with Air Canada to receive your 10% discount.
- Once your Rental Agreement is completed, Click Here to return to Air Canada’s website to complete your Air Travel Requirements Assessment Form.
- If any portion of your itinerary is operated by an airline other than Air Canada,you will need to complete that airline’s medical approval form as well.
- Our equipment may be used throughout your air and ground travel, so you will not need any additional equipment.
- If you have any issues with your equipment, please contact OxygenToGo immediately at 307-732-0400 or 877-736-8691
Passengers using a POC may not be seated in an exit or bulkhead row. A POC does not count toward your carry-on baggage allowance, but must meet the following conditions to be allowed on board:
- The battery should be removed and packaged separately if not in use.
- The packaged battery terminals should not contact any metal objects.
If you have your own equipment, you may use that equipment by completing the steps below:
- Complete your travel plans and purchase your ticket.
- Verify that you will have the FAA required 150% of battery time for your cumulative flight times. (See Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) FAA Battery Requirements below.)
- Click Here to return to Air Canada’s medical approval page and complete the Air Travel Requirements Assessment Form.

POC FAA Battery Requirements
The FAA requires that a POC user must have 150% of their total actual flight time in battery time, regardless of how long the user may choose to use the device.
The number of required batteries should be calculated using the manufacturer’s estimate of the hours of battery life while the device is in use, and according to the information provided on the POC and Battery Approval Request form (e.g., flow rate for the POCs). See your user manual for battery durations.
The expected maximum flight duration is defined as the carrier’s best estimate of the total duration of the flight from departure gate to arrival gate. Your flight time can be found under “Trips” on AirCanada.com
Call OxygenToGo at 307-732-0040 to discuss your specific battery needs, or with any questions regarding the duration of your POC batteries.
