Abstract

In recent times, air transport has become more common, and so the number of passengers using it has increased. As travellers increased, so did the risk of any adverse event related to the health or life of those on board. The staff of the aircraft should be properly trained to be able to help the victim and at the same time be able to stay calm on board the plane. It is also not uncommon for a person with medical education to be present on board the plane – it is importantthat healthcare professionals know their rights and obligations arising from the situation. The paper presents the procedures applicable to the cabin crew, health care workers present on board and passengers who are at increasedrisk of a life-threatening episode during the flight.
