Wheelchairs & airplanes

My brother requires the use of a wheelchair for mobility. He can often transfer himself -- if the "situation" is right (right height, right width, etc.). He has not flown anywhere since he has been in a wheelchair. And he is very nervous about doing so. He does not think he would be able to transfer to a seat -- due to the space limitations on a typical plane.
How accomodating are airlines with individuals requiring wheelchairs? What kind of arrangements need to be made when booking a ticket? And is there anything else he might need to know?
Thanks sooo much for any assistance anyone can provide.
