The 35 cm Solution for Aircraft, Train and Ambulance Transit
The Surace AIR 2000 is a purpose-built airport aisle wheelchair engineered for one job: moving passengers safely through the narrowest spaces in aviation, rail and emergency transport. With a maximum width of just 35 cm — narrower than virtually any single-aisle commercial aircraft — the AIR 2000 glides between seat rows where standard wheelchairs simply cannot fit, making it the airport aisle wheelchair UAE airports, airlines, train operators and ambulance services rely on for boarding, deplaning and on-board lavatory transfers. Built around a reinforced chrome-plated steel frame and finished in fireproof polyester upholstery rated to 600–800 N traction resistance, the AIR 2000 carries up to 130 kg while weighing only 12 kg itself — light enough for a single attendant to manoeuvre and stow, strong enough for continuous heavy-duty service. Front swivel casters give pinpoint control in tight cabin geometry, while the deep, contoured seat and full-height padded backrest with foldable headrest extension keep the passenger comfortable and properly supported throughout the transfer. Safety is built into every contact point. Two chest-and-shoulder belts secure the passenger to the backrest, an additional lap belt locks them into the seat, and a heel strap keeps feet on the footplate during movement — eliminating the dragging-foot risk common to lesser aisle chairs. Whether the AIR 2000 is being used for pre-board assistance at Dubai International, transferring a passenger inside an Etihad Rail carriage, moving a patient inside an ambulance, or supporting Red Crescent operations, every detail is engineered to match the demands of professional ground-handling and medical-transport teams across the UAE and wider GCC.
Key Benefits
- True 35 cm aisle clearance — fits the narrowest aisle on virtually every commercial aircraft, train carriage and ambulance bay in service.
- Fireproof aviation-grade upholstery — high-tenacity polyester rated against fire, with traction resistance of 600–800 N for heavy daily use.
- Five-point passenger restraint — two backrest belts, one seat belt and a heel strap keep the passenger fully secured during boarding and transit.
- Reinforced steel frame, 130 kg capacity — chrome-plated for wear resistance and built for continuous airport, rail and ambulance service cycles.

Its 35 cm profile means it goes everywhere the passenger needs to go — and its fire-rated build means it passes the safety reviews that come with operating in regulated transport environments.
