Occasionally, a passenger may become ill in-flight. The vast majority of problems are minor and easily dealt with by the cabin crew, but in case medical assistance is required:

• A comprehensive doctor's kit is made available to any medical doctor on the flight.
• On-call specialist medical advice is available to the crew by radio or telephone.

Emergency defibrillators (which the crew are trained to use) are carried on board, ready for the very rare event of a passenger having a cardiac arrest.

• Medical equipment

  We need advance notice to provide any special equipment required.

  On codeshare flights the operating carrier's regulations apply. If special equipment is required, you must book the operating carrier’s flight number for the segment involved.
