Cabin Crew Medicals

We perform CAA, EASA and CASA cabin crew medicals as well as those for various Japanese carries.We support cabin crews with specific pre-employment and annual medical requirements due to the nature of their workload.

The CAA and EASA EU-OPS requirements stipulate that all cabin crew members are required to undergo a medical examination or assessment. UK operators need a system for arranging periodic medical assessments of cabin crews, to maintain a medical record for each crew member and to ensure that each crew member has passed a medical examination or assessment at the required intervals.
These medicals can be conducted as part of pre-commencement screening and can be repeated on an annual or 5 yearly basis to ensure appropriate health standards are maintained for work in a safety critical environment.

Our team of Aeromedical Examiners (AME’s) have extensive experience in providing airlines with tailored services for their employees including flight and cabin crew.
