a) To aircraft steps
b) To the cabin door
c) To seat
Note: 1) The attendant should ensure that all items / medical equipment brought on to the aircraft by
the patient (needles, syringes, and unused medications) are removed at the time the patient disembarks
from the aircraft.
When assessing a patient’s fitness for air travel, the effects of reduced atmospheric pressure and
consequent reduction in oxygen tension must be considered. Even in pressurized aircraft the cabin
pressure will be equivalent to an altitude of 5000-7000feet. Although each case will be considered on its
merit, the following conditions are generally considered unacceptable for air travel:
a) Critical heart and respiratory conditions (e.g. decompensated cardiac patients / patients with severe
valvular disease / unstable angina / severe asthma) are usually not permitted to fly. Patients with
recent coronary occlusion with myocardial infarction are not normally permitted to fly within 6weeks
of onset.
b) Introduction of air into body cavities for diagnostic / therapeutic purposes within 7days of travel.
j) Pregnancy beyond 34 weeks, postpartum females & new-borns in the first week.
k) Patients with deep vein thrombosis (DVT) should not fly till patient is stabilized on anticoagulant
theory and there are no pulmonary complications. Passengers with risk factors for developing DVT
should carry fitness certificates from the treating doctor.
l) Patients with severe anaemia (HB < 8.5 gm / dl) are not permitted to fly. However in exceptional
cases, they may be permitted to fly with a specialist’s certificate.
m) Patients in acute phase of cerebral infarction (stroke) of any etiology are generally not permitted to
fly within 3 weeks of onset.
2) Patients with intravenous (iv) drips are not allowed to fly unless they go as stretcher cases as there
is no provision for IV drips stands onboard the aircraft. All cases on intravenous drips must be
accompanied by a qualified nurse / doctor.
3) Any fee for the completion of this certificate or for further medical examination requested by AirAsia
India doctors for purpose of certification will be the responsibility of the patient.
4) Due to security reasons, personal oxygen cylinders, oxygen concentrators, etc. will not be carried
on board the aircraft. Any electronic medical equipment requires clearance by Engineering &
Security before it can be carried on board the aircraft.
5) All medical details requested must be completed and submitted at least 24-48hrs in advance of the
flight. Clearance must be received from the company doctors. The form should be accurately
completed and clearly typed. This form is transmitted by fax, so all medical terms should be legible
and completed in black ink.
6) The AirAsia India doctor’s decision regarding fitness of the patient to fly or the requirement of
medical escort will be final. If at the time of embarkation the condition of the patient deteriorates
carriage may be refused. Any case which
AirAsia India feels might jeopardize the safety or operation of the aircraft will not be accepted. Patients with
symptoms likely to cause distress or inconvenience to other customers will not be accepted.
