At the Airport
A video intercom is located outside the air terminal through which to contact PRM assistance personnel.
On departure
The passenger who needs individual assistance (reported by the airline) is met at the air terminal by the specialized staff of the Sala Amica. He/she is assisted during check-in and accompanied to security checkpoints, all the way to the boarding gate. If necessary, ambulift, a special elevator, is made available to the passenger for transfer on board.
Recommended time for arrival at the airport
The PRM going directly to check-in should report:
1) at the time established and published by the air carrier or its agent, tour operator, or airport manager
2) if no time has been established, Regulation 1107/2006 requires at least one hour before the published departure time
The PRM arriving at a designated point within the airport perimeter shall report:
1) at the time established and published by the air carrier or its agent or tour operator or the airport operator;
2) if no time has been established, Regulation 1107/2006 requires at least two hours before the published departure time.
On arrival
The airline notifies the arrival airport of the presence of the passenger requiring assistance. A Sacal landing attendant, if necessary, facilitates their disembarkation through the use of the ambulift. The passenger is then escorted, to document control, baggage claim, and outside the terminal to the chosen means of getting to the desired destination

Outside the air terminal, Sacal has provided parking spaces, appropriately marked, reserved and free of charge
