What can we do for you?

All passengers travelling with broken limbs in plaster are required to travel with a medical certificate confirming that they are fit to fly. In addition to this, passengers must sign an indemnity form for sick passengers and thus confirm that they have been informed about the risks of transport (swelling of limbs at low air pressure, tissue damage, disturbed circulation, risk of thrombosis, etc.). If possible, a flight should only be made 48 hours after the fracture at the earliest, since the tissue surrounding the fracture has the largest swelling during this period of time.

If a passenger wants nevertheless make the flight within the first 48 hours after the fracture, the cast needs to be split (the split needs to run along the entire length of the cast); otherwise, the airline will refuse to carry the passenger.
We recommend that passengers travel with a split cast up to the seventh day after the fracture. If the fracture is older than seven days, there is no requirement for the cast to be split.

Passengers travelling with lower limbs (from the hip down to and including the ankle) in a cast must purchase three seats in total, per journey, to travel, since the leg must be elevated and the passenger must not, for security reasons, stretch it into the aisle. In case of child passengers travelling with lower limbs in cast, it has to be determined whether they would require one, two or three seats to enable their leg to be elevated during the flight.
