Many things have changed since the beginning of the pandemic. Most people cannot fly overseas now. The ability to fly abroad to work, visit family members or just to relax has been impossible. You can fly again with a Fit to Fly Certificate.
As lockdown restrictions are gradually being lifted, flights have opened up. To fly, you will need to adhere to new rules.
COVID-19 Travel Regulations
You should keep abreast of the latest advice from the Foreign & Commonwealth Office if you’re planning on traveling internationally in 2018. It is important to keep up to date with the Foreign & Commonwealth Office and your airline to determine your requirements.
What is the difference between them?
A Standard Fit to Fly Certificate, which is signed by a doctor registered with the General Medical Council is a document confirming that you are fit to fly. A doctor will evaluate your medical condition and declare that flying will not cause any adverse effects.
Also, your certificate is stamped by a clinic like ours that has been accredited with the Care Quality Commission.
A COVID-19 fit to fly certificate includes all of the above plus confirmation of an independent, negative COVID-19 test.
Where would I need a standard Fit to Fly Certificate
You may need a certificate that you are fit to fly with an airline if:
Recently released from hospital
Recovering after an operation
Pregnant for more than 28 weeks
Medical reasons for travel
We recommend that your airline be contacted as soon as possible. It is important that you get your certificate before your flight. Be aware that timings are subject to change so plan ahead.
COVID-19 Flying Certificate
Simply put, a COVID-19 fit to fly certificate is a letter confirming that you have passed a negative Coronavirus test. It allows you to fly. Travel certification is not possible for NHS COVID-19 test results. Travelling abroad requires you to pass an independent test. Timing is critical and can vary depending upon the airline, destination, or both. You can avoid disappointment by planning ahead.
What and where can I take my test?
Our expert team is available to assist with Fit to Fly Certificates. We offer both in-clinic and home testing.
If you prefer to have your test done at home, please allow up to 48 hours to process the order.
What length is a COVID-19 fit to fly certificate valid?
Every country and airline has its own requirements. The certifications are valid for a very short time. Make sure you check the requirements and take the test within the appropriate time.
