The purpose of fitness to fly aims to reduce in-flight medical emergencies, minimise travel disruptions, and ensure safety for all passengers and crew. It refers to the medical, psychological and physiological readiness of an individual to undertake air travel. Fitness to fly is particularly important for people with pre-existing medical conditions, ensuring they travel safely.
A thorough assessment identifies potential risks during air travel, especially for individuals with cardiovascular, respiratory or psychological conditions. Proper evaluation helps prevent in-flight medical incidents and supports safe travel planning.
Your Airline will need additional information regards to your pre-existing medical conditions prior to your travel. Usually this information is required 2-3 weeks prior to travel.
