There is a new way for pregnant women to register with maternity services in Cardiff & Vale UHB.

We are unable to issues letters/certificates stating that patients are 'fit to fly'.  Assessing whether someone can fly falls outside of our area of expertise as General Practitioners. We can supply a 'statement of fact for fitness to fly' which will simply state that, 'Ms X is 30 weeks pregnant and has no known complications'.  This will require us to liaise with your midwifery team and look at your medical records to see if you suffer with any medical conditions and, as it falls outside of GMS work, a £35 fee will be charged for the letter. 

The UK Civil Aviation Authority states that ,'most airlines have medical advisors who advise and clear passengers as fit to fly. The final decision on whether or not to carry a passenger is that of the airline'.

For further information, please see the health pages on the UK Civil Aviation Authority website. https://www.caa.co.uk/passengers-and-public/before-you-fly/am-i-fit-to-fly/

There are on-line private providers who may be able to offer a fit to fly letter if it is still required.
