Etihad Airways has launched two specialized services for air travelers with pre-existing medical conditions, ensuring continuity of care and in-flight safety.
The one-stop-shop services will be carried out by members of the Etihad medical team, all of whom are qualified in aviation and transport medicine.
The first service allows guests, who require medical clearance prior to travel, the opportunity to request an Etihad aviation doctor to visit them and conduct an evaluation in consultation with their attending physician. All medical forms and assessments will be completed by the Etihad doctor on-site, leading to a recommendation about their “fit to fly” status within one day.
The second service is the introduction of an in-flight nurse who can accompany guests during their trip and provide medical support.
