QUESTION: I was wondering if this item is FAA approved? Thank you, Jennifer ANSWER: The old model caddy is discontinued and new model will be available in Oct. Currently we carry another model of travel scooter with lighter weight and easier to fold feature. The scooter itself is not approved but the batteries used are approved to use on air plane. In fact, most of customers purchased either the Caddy or Elite to travel by air. There is never a problem. http://ucanhealth.com/goto.php?page=detail.php&graph1=ELITE For more discussions, options and details about the product, or to order the product, please click here This attractively designed and versatile foldable mobility scooter is super light and folds up in seconds.
