Get Your Official Fit-To-Fly Certificate, Issued Same-Day
A Fit-To-Fly certificate is a key travel document for many passengers. Our service provides a thorough medical check and official documentation, ensuring a hassle-free journey. Here is a breakdown of what the service includes, who needs it, and what to expect during your appointment.
Service Overview
What Your Same-Day Fit-To-Fly Service Includes
Our comprehensive assessment is designed to confirm your health status for air travel. It includes:
- A full clinical review of your current health, recent medical history, and pre-existing conditions.
- Assessment of fitness for travel following recent surgery, illness (e.g., COVID-19 recovery), or injury.
- Official confirmation that you are medically cleared to fly long or short haul.
- Issuance of a formal, doctor-signed Fit-To-Fly certificate, immediately valid for your journey.
- Advice on managing specific health conditions or medications while airborne.
We provide the official documentation needed to satisfy strict airline and border requirements.
Patient Suitability
Who Needs a Private Fit-To-Fly Medical Certificate
This crucial service is often required for passengers in specific circumstances to ensure safety and compliance. It is essential for:
- Individuals who have recently recovered from an infectious illness (e.g., chest infection, flu, or recent COVID-19 positive result).
- Patients travelling shortly after major or minor surgery, a procedure, or a recent injury (e.g., broken limbs).
- Pregnant women (usually from 28 weeks onwards) requiring a doctor’s note for airline approval.
- Travellers with complex or unstable medical conditions (e.g., heart or lung issues, recent stroke).
- Anyone whose specific airline or destination mandates a medical certificate for clearance.
If your health situation has changed or if your airline has requested proof of fitness, this is the essential step for travel clearance.
