Pregnant women are welcome on our flights.
For your safety and peace of mind, following are general guidelines for pregnant women.
- As a rule, it is possible and permissible for pregnant women to fly.
Notwithstanding the above, a woman can fly as long as she is in good health, with no risk factors in her pregnancy and no illness. This applies until the end of the 35th week of her pregnancy and requires written approval from her physician.
The medical clearance should include general information about the pregnancy, such as: previous pregnancies, the stage of the pregnancy, etc. The medical approval should be on hand, in case it is needed, from check-in and throughout the duration of the flight.
- During the 36th week of the pregnancy, medical approval by the company doctor is required. The passenger’s attending physician should fill out a medical questionnaire (MEDA) which will be submitted through the travel agent or through the Customer Service Center, for final approval by the company doctor.
