  • Technically you are absolutely correct, the atmosphere composition remains unchanged regardless elevation. However oxygen bio-availability is lesser due to reduced barometric pressure and lower partial pressure of O2 at altitude, causing hypoxia (lack of oxygen in arterial blood and tissues). For the purpose of short commercial all this intricate details are unimportant. What is important is the need in pre-acclimatisation, aiming to reduce the severity of AMS.

  • I'm sorry to inform your team of this, but you claim there is less oxygen at higher levels. In fact, there is the same amount of oxygen at altitude or sea level (about 20.9%). There is however less pressure, or partial pressure: when describing oxygen transport into the blood. The difference is ONLY partial pressure, not the amount of oxygen in the air.
