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.
Spring Airlines stipulates that the elderly must provide medical certificates provided by hospitals at or above the county level within 180 days when purchasing tickets. The medical certificate must include ECG, blood pressure and respiratory examination and be signed and sealed by the hospital.
According to the regulations of China Eastern Airlines and China United Airlines, the elderly should go to hospitals at or above the county level about one week in advance to issue a certificate of flight suitability, and the flight crew will check it when boarding.
According to the regulations of Hebei Airlines, the health guarantee must be downloaded in official website of Hebei Airlines in advance, signed by the elderly and carried with them during the flight.
Shijiazhuang airport advises passengers because airlines have different regulations on the flight of the elderly. Passengers should contact the airline before purchasing tickets to understand the specific regulations before purchasing tickets, so as not to affect your travel.
Carry first-aid medicine with you.
The plane belongs to a sealed environment, and the oxygen at high altitude is relatively thin. Old people with a history of hypertension and heart disease should take quick-acting tablets, aspirin and other first-aid drugs with them. If the elderly travel alone, in order to prevent communication with the staff after an accident, the first-aid medicine should be put in a small bag alone and the flight attendants should be told how to take it.
According to the regulations of the Civil Aviation Administration, the volume of liquid carried by plane should not exceed 100 ml, but if the elderly need to carry necessary drugs, they can explain to the security check and the crew, and they can only take them on the plane after the crew agrees to carry out security check.
On the day of boarding, the deliveryman should go to the check-in counter corresponding to the flight and fill in the Notice of Special Passengers Taking the Flight, and fill in the name, age, origin, destination, flight number, date, name and telephone number of the deliveryman and the pick-up person in detail.
After check-in, the airport service staff will guide the elderly to enter the waiting room through the green channel security check. When boarding the plane, the airport service staff will handle the camera group according to the requirements of the elderly, so that the elderly can board the plane first or later and hand it over to the flight attendants. After the plane arrives at the destination, the flight attendant will hand it over to the service personnel at the destination airport, who will guide the old man out of the airport and hand it over to the pick-up person specified in the notice.
If the elderly are inconvenient to walk, they can also apply for a wheelchair when they check in. The airline will arrange wheelchairs for the elderly according to the actual flight situation.
