CX MEDA Form Passenger Oct2014 PDF
The information provided during your booking has prompted us to request that a Passenger Medical Clearance
(MEDA) Form be completed by you and your attending doctor.
Some passengers may need special medical consideration when they travel. This may be due to a recent illness,
injury, surgery or hospitalisation; or if you have an existing medical condition where there is reasonable doubt
that you can complete the flight safely without requiring extraordinary medical assistance; or you have requested
the use of medical equipment or oxygen inflight.
The purpose of the MEDA Form is to enable Cathay Pacific, in conjunction with your doctor, to determine your
fitness to travel. Part 1 of the MEDA Form is to be completed by you, the passenger, while Parts 2 and 3 is to be
completed by the attending doctor in English.
Please ensure that the MEDA Form is returned to your local Cathay Pacific Reservation office at least 48
hours prior to your scheduled departure time, to minimise any potential delays. Once Cathay Pacific receives
the completed form and it is assessed by our Aviation Medicine team, a member of Cathay Pacific staff may
contact you to discuss your medical clearance.
Please note that you will have to bear any associated charges made by your doctor for completing this form.
By providing the information requested in the MEDA Form, you are waiving the confidentiality of the information
disclosed by your attending doctor. In order to ensure your requests are conveyed to the relevant connecting
airlines, Cathay Pacific will also disclose the contents of the MEDA Form to all carriers associated with this ticket.
If you have any questions relating to the MEDA Form, please direct it to your local Cathay Pacific Reservation
office. Thank you for your cooperation.
