Thomson Airways has stopped charging ill and disabled passengers for additional oxygen on its flights.
The airline introduced charges of £75 per short- or mid-haul single flight, and £125 on long-haul flights on May 1.
Thomson Airways has maintained the charges were not for profit, but to cover the cost of providing and refilling the oxygen cylinders used.
However, with as many as 90,000 Brits needing additional oxygen on board aircraft due to respiratory diseases, illness and disability, the charges have been scrapped.
Thomson Airways director of customer services Carl Gissing said: “I am delighted that we have been able to scrap these charges following feedback from our customers.
“We urge other airlines to follow suit and remove these charges to ensure everyone has equal access to air travel.”
Customers who need supplementary in-flight oxygen can either pre-book oxygen supplies, or bring their own supplies, providing they meet certain conditions and have prior approval.
