What is a Fit to Fly medical certificate in Spain?
A Fit to Fly medical certificate confirms that a traveller is medically fit to fly and has no health conditions that would contraindicate air travel at the time the document is issued. Airlines, airport security, or border authorities may request this certificate, especially if the passenger has recently experienced illness, surgery, an exacerbation of a chronic condition, or any medical event that could raise concerns during a flight.
The certificate provides medical confirmation that the traveller’s condition is stable, that they are able to tolerate airport procedures and cabin pressure changes, and that they do not present symptoms that could worsen during the journey. It may also indicate whether the traveller needs to carry medication, injections, or medical equipment on board.
Although the Fit to Fly certificate supports the traveller’s medical clearance, the final decision to permit boarding always rests with the airline, which may apply additional requirements depending on aircraft type, flight duration, or company policies.
The certificate is often required if the passenger has recently recovered from an illness or injury, has a chronic condition, is travelling with medical devices or medications, or if the airline has requested medical documentation in advance.
The document is issued by a private doctor based on the medical information provided by the traveller. It is not intended for emergency situations or urgent medical care.
