Older people over 70 years old should have a physical examination about one week in advance when taking the flight to ensure their health and suitability for taking the flight. Physical examination should be carried out in hospitals above the county level, focusing on ECG, blood pressure, respiratory tract and other items. Although the Civil Aviation Administration has no special requirements for the age of flight attendants, airlines have made different regulations for the elderly because air flight may induce diseases such as heart disease and high blood pressure.
