Frequently asked questions

Is a Fit to Fly certificate guaranteed?

No. A certificate can be provided only after medical assessment and only when the doctor considers flying medically appropriate.

How early should I contact the clinic?

Please contact the clinic at least 24 hours before departure. Earlier contact gives more time to assess availability and arrange an appointment.

Can the assessment take place at my hotel?

When possible and depending on location and availability, an accommodation visit may be arranged. The clinic will confirm this after reviewing the request.

What documents should I provide?

Any discharge note, medical report, X-ray, MRI result, medication list or treatment instructions may help the review.

Will the airline automatically accept the certificate?

Airline requirements can differ. Passengers should also check directly with their airline, especially when travelling with a cast, mobility aid or recent surgery.

Need to travel soon?

Send your assessment request as early as possible so the clinic can review availability before your departure.
