Unaccompanied Minors, Ill Passengers & Pregnant Women

Pregnant passengers:

- If pregnant for six moths (twenty four weeks) or more, passengers are permitted to board only if they receive a medical report stating that “it is not risky for the patient to fly by plane”. The date of this report cannot be older than seven days before the date of flight.

- If pregnant for more than seven months (twenty eight weeks), in addition to the medical report, the passenger is required to give a written declaration which states that “she bears all the responsibility for possible complications that might occur during the flight". This written declaration will not be accepted after the check-in procedures are completed.

- If pregnant for eight months (thirty two weeks) or more, passengers are not permitted to board.

Passengers with wheelchairs:

Wheelchairs for customer’s use are available at almost all points of service. Whether the passenger is travelling with his or her own wheelchair or requires one from the company, we should be informed beforehand.  Passenger-owned wheelchairs are transported free of charge in the hold (this is in addition to the baggage allowance).  Wheelchairs cannot be taken into the cabin.  All care is taken in handling wheelchairs, especially those with batteries.

Unaccompanied minors:

Children over six years of age and under twelve are permitted to board with their details on a given form.  The parent(s) or guardian(s) must give their written permission.
Babies:
Babies can be taken on board up to a ten percentage mark of all passengers.  They can travel with their parents of guardians.

People who may not fly:

  • Those with contagious illnesses (e.g. tuberculosis, hepatitis in its contagious forms, measles, diphtheria, chickenpox etc.).
  • Those who have suffered a heart attack within the previous eight weeks.
  • Those who have suffered a stroke within the previous eight weeks.
  • Those who require respiratory assistance during a flight.
  • Those who require electronic of oxygen related assistance while flying.

Ill or invalided passengers:

Sick passengers can travel on production of a note from a doctor stating that he or she is fit to do so.  Alternatively, a note can be acquired from the medical facility at the airport.  During the reservation process any assistance required (wheelchair, ground crew assistance etc.) should be determined.  If the passenger needs a stretcher, and if the passenger is unaccompanied, this should be declared. 
CTA is happy to help, and is equipped to help, sick and invalided passengers.  This includes those who must lie down during the flight, those who need to be moved on stretchers, the deaf and the dumb, the blind and others.  We concern ourselves closely with their comfort and well being.
