IATA classes compressed gases as Class 2 Dangerous Goods. Not prohibited goods. They can fly when the correct processes are followed. That is probably not what RM want to do so they don't. Fair enough. But it isn't against flying regs for compressed air to fly unaccompanied or otherwise.
I suspect the items were 'checked in' by you and therefore will be 'accompanied' so the rules are complied with... granted what happens after that is a lottery but compliance was undertaken in the first instance.

Irrespective of IATA, the CAA set the rules by which RM abide.
