Health Insurance Certificate for International Flight Travel.

Do you feel Health Insurance Certificate should be made compulsory for both passengers traveling on International and Domestic flights ?.

I Feel Medical Fitness Certificate is compulsory on International flights.
Is it because of a Longer flight journey duration on International flights while in domestic flights the journey time is comparatively less ?.

Also do you feel at least one Medical Practitioner / Doctor should be available on both International and Local aircraft flight Board in case of emergencies ?.

Thanks & Regards,
Prashant S Akerkar

This facility / service will be provided by individual aircraft carriers/operators and the cost of the passenger ticket should not have a increase in fare.

So, before the flight takeoff, announcements will be made indicating additional medical doctor availability on aircraft board to the passengers.

This service will provide more comfort level zone for the passengers on aircraft board.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi

With all due respect, like your other post about operating theatres in aircraft this too is compete rubbish.

Financially, logistically and practically no. In terms of need or benefit no

Please tell us why you are asking - you might get a worthwhile reply

You seem to put a lot of faith in medicine to prevent/manage/forsee aviation related events prashant.

I think the money would be better spent on a health promotion campaign in the tobacco department of the Duty Free shop.

Mind you Gingernut it would be a cushy job giving certificates of no value to people with no illness and being paid by Richard and Willie

Sounds to me like he's looking at a business model to milk the public of more of their hard earned cash.

I suspect he is insurance based.
