Fit to Fly Test in Lanzarote

When do you need a Fit to Fly Certificate for medical reasons?

There are several situations in which airlines may request a Fit to Fly certificate based on medical grounds. At Euroklinik, we assess each case individually and provide full support for issuing the required documentation.

You may need this certificate if you require oxygen therapy during the flight, including a specification of flow rate. We will evaluate your respiratory function and prepare the correct medical statement. If you are carrying medical equipment or baggage, such as a CPAP machine or medication that exceeds carry-on limits, we can document its necessity and weight.

If you're pregnant, especially in the later stages or if complications have occurred during the pregnancy, our doctors can perform the necessary checks—such as fetal heartbeat monitoring or a general health assessment—to ensure safe travel and issue the certificate if medically approved. Similarly, if you or your child are recovering from a recent contagious illness, we can examine your condition and confirm that the infectious phase has passed.

After any recent surgery (within the past 8 days), a medical evaluation is typically required to rule out complications and approve air travel. The same applies if you are wearing a cast, have difficulty remaining seated upright, or are experiencing acute symptoms like fever or ear infections (otitis), as cabin pressure changes can worsen your condition.

In all these scenarios, Euroklinik offers fast and thorough evaluations to help you obtain the right documentation and ensure a smooth boarding process.

Additional Information About Fit to Fly Requirements

While each airline or country may define its own criteria, Fit to Fly certificates generally require confirmation from a doctor stating that you are in a stable physical condition and not at risk during the flight. This includes checking your vital signs, reviewing recent medical history, and confirming that you are not suffering from any condition that could worsen during air travel.

At Euroklinik, we take care of all the necessary documentation. Your certificate will include your full name (matching your passport), the date and place of the consultation, a medical summary, and a signed declaration confirming that you are fit to travel. If required, additional medical reports can be attached to support the certificate. For families or groups, we can prepare joint documentation to simplify the process and reduce waiting times.

We also provide certification of vaccinations, when required by specific countries for entry. Certain destinations request proof of vaccines such as yellow fever or other travel-related immunizations. Our doctors can review your vaccination history, administer necessary doses when available, and issue an official statement in multiple languages confirming compliance with these regulations.
