Important
All medical certificates that we require from travellers for travel must be issued no later than 10 days before the date of travel and this medical certificate is valid for your return journey for up to 1 month if there has been no change in your state of health.
In cases in which there is a difference in the number of days to be able to fly between the treating doctor and the Airport Health concept, the Health concept takes precedence. Remember that in order to carry out any air travel after having suffered any of the above-mentioned medical conditions, it is essential to have the rest stipulated therein, to avoid putting your life and the lives of others at risk.
