Barrier Free assistance service at Córdoba Airport

There are appropriately signposted Meeting Points in Aena airports, as well as in all European airports, both inside and outside the terminals (vehicle parking, arrivals forecourt, check-in area), where people with disabilities or reduced mobility can easily announce their arrival at the airport and request assistance.

To ensure suitable assistance of acceptable quality when arriving at the airport, please bear the following in mind:

• If you have sent your request for assistance through the channels made available by Aena, as well as notifying the airline when booking, you must arrive at the meeting point you have agreed with Aena at the time specified in your request or as early as specified by the airline (in cases where the time specified by the airline is more restrictive and earlier than the time set when requesting assistance from Aena) and announce your arrival.
• If you processed your request through the airline only, you must go to the nearest meeting point sufficiently early and announce your arrival. If no time was specified, you should arrive at least two and a half hours before the scheduled departure of your flight.

A member of the assistance service team will come and find you and will assist you from the meeting point until you are seated on the aircraft..

When you reach your destination, you will be escorted to the meeting point of your choice.
