Question

Can you bring an oxygen tank aboard the airplane

Answer 1

no way......unless u sell or buy it.

Answer 2

The tank must be empty and stowed in the baggage compartment. Any pressure in the bottle will result in a very large bang. Oops, i just killed everybody!!!!!

Answer 3

Yes, but it has to be empty.

Answer 4

I don't believe the FAA will allow oxygen cylinders aboard commercial airliners. If you want it for diving , just take your own regulator and mask, and rent a tank when you get to your resort.

Answer 5

if its a health issue contact the airline to find out  

Answer 6

Well, I know you can check a scuba tank.  I don't remember the exact rules, but I think it has to be empty with the valve open.  You should check with your airline because you could be asking about several different things here.

Answer 7

So far as I know, medical oxygen is allowed, but not SCUBA tanks unless they are empty.  The rules in the US differ, and I cannot speak as to what they might be.

I have seen people fly with medical oxygen, though they do need a permit to do so. recently

Answer 8

Not sure. It could be answer number 1 or number 2. Your choice.

#1   Yes. They store them for you right next to the loaded shotguns leaning up against the pressure bulkhead.

#2    No. That would be considered too dangerous. Only certified empty containers may be loaded onto commercial flights

Answer 9

Nope.  If you need oxygen on a flight, you will have to take a special plane that is made for medical missions.  Or, you can get an oxygen concentrator, as those are allowed.  No tanks on board, and you cannot use the ones we have for emergency use.  Sorry.

Answer 10

It depends how pressurised and large the container is, it if it is required for medical reasons, then one may be provided, if it's for scuba diving etc, then you need to have it empty.
