What is MEDIF?

If you or the passenger whom you are purchasing an airline ticket for has a specific health condition and/or needs special assistance during the flight, you must present a Medical Information Form (MEDIF) filled out by this passenger’s doctor as stated in article 9 of ANAC Resolution no. 280 of 2013. Below are described some examples of possible health conditions that apply:

 

  • Suffering from an illness or an impairment that causes effects on your health and well-being or even other passengers and crew;
  • Having undergone surgery recently;
  • Having a health condition considered unstable;
  • Representing a risk to your own safety or other passengers and/or crew;
  • Needing attention or medical follow-up and/or special equipment during the flight.

The MEDIF form is available for download at the end of this page, and clients must make sure that they fill it out completely and have it signed by the passenger’s doctor before issuing their ticket. This form must be sent to AZUL at least 72 working hours before the flight via our website (at the end of this page). The medical documents and MEDIF will be analyzed by AZUL’s medical professionals who specialize in aviation medicine, with a 48-hour answer deadline. It is worth remembering that the air transportation of the client described above is subject to previous authorization from the AZUL’s medical department, which will be based on the information described in the form by the signing doctor. In the event that the minimum medical safety demands are not met, passenger transport shall be refused, as stated in paragraph 1 of article 6 of the aforementioned Resolution.
