Fit to Fly Medical Certificate in Italy

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 in Italy or abroad may request this certificate, especially if the passenger has recently experienced an illness, surgery, a flare-up of a chronic condition, or another medical event that could raise concerns during a flight.

The certificate provides medical confirmation that the traveller’s health condition is stable, that they can tolerate standard airport procedures and cabin pressure changes, and that they do not show symptoms likely to worsen during air travel. It may also include notes about the need to carry medication, injections, or medical equipment on board, if applicable.

While the Fit to Fly certificate supports medical clearance to travel, the final decision on boarding always remains with the airline. Airlines may apply additional rules depending on the aircraft, flight duration, destination, or internal medical policies.

In Italy, this certificate is commonly requested if the passenger has recently recovered from an illness or injury, lives with a chronic medical condition, is travelling with medical devices or prescription medication, or if the airline has specifically asked for medical documentation before the flight.

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.

To obtain a Fit to Fly certificate online in Italy, complete the medical questionnaire available on the Oladoctor platform. A licensed doctor will review the submitted information and assess whether you are medically fit to fly based on the details provided.

If the request is approved, the certificate is issued in electronic format and can be presented to the airline, airport staff, or border authorities before boarding. If the doctor is unable to confirm fitness to fly, the full payment is refunded.

The cost of the Fit to Fly medical certificate is €39.
Payment is made online before the doctor reviews the medical questionnaire.
