Take Spring Airlines as an example, according to the provisions of Spring Airlines "Special Passenger Transport Instructions" for elderly passengers. An elderly passenger refers to a person over 70 years old who is healthy and suitable for flying. When the plane flies at high altitude, the oxygen in the high altitude air is relatively reduced and the air pressure is reduced. Older people may not be able to bear this load because of their physical condition. Considering your safety and health, Spring Airlines recommends that you consult professional medical staff before taking the flight to ensure that your physical condition is suitable for flying.
Elderly passengers suffering from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, or diseases such as asthma that are not suitable for flying are generally not recommended to travel by plane.
Extended data:
Elderly passengers who are weak, unable to take care of themselves and need wheelchairs should be regarded as sick passengers. When such passengers apply for flight, they must be accompanied by an adult, provide a diagnosis certificate issued by a medical unit at or above the county level, and fill out an application form for special passengers. Spring Airlines can only accept transportation.
Spring Airlines has the right to refuse to carry goods with unhealthy adults, and all related losses that may be caused by the delay or interruption of the trip shall be borne by the passengers themselves. It is suggested that elderly passengers over 70 years old should be accompanied by healthy adults in case of emergency.
