Disabled Passengers & PRMs

Robin Hood Airport welcomes passengers with special needs. We endeavour to ensure our facilities maximise use and access of the premises. In designing the terminal buildings and facilities we have attempted to apply standards and good practices in order to provide an inclusive environment.

You must ensure that you pre-notify and specify your needs with the airline or tour operator when you book your flight; we cannot guarantee all of the assistance services for non pre-notified passengers.

Special Assistance Services

Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield has appointed a contractor to provide special assistance services to support disabled passengers and persons of reduced mobility (PRMs).

On arrival at the airport, please follow the procedures below:

Departing Passengers

Communicate your arrival at the airport and request assistance as follows:

From the Car Park:

  • On arrival call 01302 625 099 or press the help button posted on the car park barrier.
  • A member of staff will then meet you in the car park if required.

Inside the Terminal:

  • A phone is situated on main terminal desk, signposted "Wheelchair Assistance" which will ring through for assistance.
  • Seating is provided next to the main terminal desk for passengers to be seated while they await assistance.

Support and assistance is available as follows:

Where a customer prefers to explore the Terminal facilities without escort, a place and time (bearing in mind boarding time, security queues, etc) will be agreed to meet and proceed to the Gate. A 'shopping service' is NOT available; in exceptional circumstances, assistance may be provided to purchase essential refreshments and medications.
