Fit to Fly Test

What is a Fit to Fly covid-19 test?

A Fit to Fly test is an essential process a person has to take in order to fly during the coronavirus pandemic in the UK. Airlines are insisting that persons wanting to fly with them will need to provide an official Fit to Fly certificate. Fit to Fly tests are similar to normal testing services but required their own certificate. Once a swab has been taken and sent to our lab for analysis, a certificate will be issued to the recipient that details their results and if they are fit to fly commercially.

Do I need a Fit to Fly travel certificate?

The UK government has ordered travellers to complete a Fit to Fly test. If you are flying from the UK to another destination abroad then you are required to prove to airlines that you have taken a covid-19 test and that you have no symptoms and/or are not carrying the virus. This is done in the form of a coronavirus travel test that you must show the certified results to the airline before boarding the aircraft. The certificate is critical for foreign travel.
