FIT FOR FLIGHT?

摘要

It is important to have someform of screening procedure to make sure that passengers with certain medical problems do not put themselves, the crew or other passengers at risk or cause a diversion. Passengers should not fly if they have any physical or psychological problem that could be made worse by flying, or if they have any form of infectious disease or condition that could affect other passengers. Remember that medical facilities overseas may not be up to the UK standard and language difficulties may further exacerbate the problem. Airlines often have special departments which can deal with requests for medical clearances, especially on long-haul flights.
