Say what?Would be dead before I even arrived as the oxygen in a planes pressurised cabin is partially depleted due to it being recycled. The risk of infection is also too high and mu insurance wont cover the costs of a "hospital medivac plane"

Yes, some air is recycled, but that's because it's sub-zero outside and the recycled air helps warm it up. The oxygen level is just fine. However, due to engineering, the cabin pressure at cruising altitudes in the high 30s to low 40s is about 8000'. Yes, the oxygen content is reduced just like being on one of the foothills near Denver or any other 8000' mountain. It's due to "cabin altitude", not "due to it being recycled".
Yes, those arrangements can be made. Oxygen bottles present a inflight hazard (Think Apollo 1), but there are machines that simply pressurize ambient air and supply it to the patient. Those are authorized.Say what?Would be dead before I even arrived as the oxygen in a planes pressurised cabin is partially depleted due to it being recycled.

sometimes it is just simply best to over look some folks inaccurate postings
that being said the airline can and will make accommodations for those
who do not do well at altitude that is if your supplemental oxygen device
is not approved for flight (several are approved)

Depends on the airline and what the needs are. An airline isn't going to endanger an entire flight for a single passenger.yes they are authorized
however some folks require a higher liter rate
then the machine can produce
in those situations the airline itself can supply supplemental oxygen

Supplemental oxygen on commercial airlines
As air travel has become more common, travel opportunities have increased for people with serious medical conditions. This includes passengers with lung disease who require supplemental oxygen during air travel. Commercial air carriers' policies regarding in-flight oxygen vary considerably, potentially leading to a great deal of confusion for travelers....
...Obtaining oxygen for air travel — The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) does not allow travelers to carry their own oxygen tanks or liquid oxygen aboard commercial aircraft. Instead, most patients can use a Department of Transportation approved battery-powered portable oxygen concentrator. Airlines landing in the United States are now required to allow use of these devices throughout the flight.
You can get portable oxygen concentrators for short-term rental from an oxygen supply company. Examples of portable oxygen concentrators include AirSep Free Style, AirSep Life Style, Inogen One, Inogen One G2, Respironics EverGo, Sequal Eclipse, Delphi Medical Systems RS-00400, Invacare Corporation XPO2, DeVilbiss Healthcare iGo, International Biophysics Corporation Life Choice, and Oxlife Independence Oxygen Concentrator. You can use these on the ground and carry them onto the plane. These machines are battery-operated, so you need to bring enough 12-cell batteries for one and half times the anticipated duration of the flight. While you are in the airport waiting for boarding, you might be able to plug the portable oxygen concentrater into an electrical outlet to save your battery power.
Alternatively, some airlines provide oxygen that is supplied in an oxygen canister packaged in a flame proof "super box."
My point is that airlines vary and people can't expect to be given oxygen bottles upon request.i really no do not know the point you are trying to make
