Before the start of the flight, when transporting a sick passenger, the carrier must be shown a medical certificate authorizing his carriage by air, and additional requirements, if any, to the conditions of carriage are listed. Disabled passengers and their accompanying persons board the aircraft first. After the flight is completed, these passengers are the last to leave.

In accordance with the rules and conditions of the regulations on air transportation, all carriers must carry passengers with disabilities and MA Aulie-Ata operates in accordance with these provisions.

They need help with airport handling, boarding or disembarking from aircraft, during the flight and in emergencies. Given this factor, on any flight there should be no more disabled passengers than passengers able to provide assistance.
Despite the above, the air carrier has the right to refuse to transport persons:

Carriers cannot limit the number or types of disabled passengers on their flights. Except for reasons of security issues or if it is necessary to apply government restrictions on the number of transports of such passengers.
