Do passengers with diabetes need to make any special arrangements to travel on nas air flights?
There is no reason why someone with insulin dependent diabetes cannot fly as a passenger. However, it may be sensible to discuss how you manage your insulin regime with your Doctor. Diabetic passengers do not require advance medical clearance to travel on nas air flights provided their condition is stable and they can take care of their own medication requirements. If you are unable to administer your own medication and are traveling alone then you will need to fly with an escort who is willing and able to assist you. Passengers should carry a letter from their doctor confirming the need to carry syringes, needles and medication in the aircraft cabin. As security screening at airports is outside the control of nas air, you should at all times carry a Doctors letter confirming your need to carry ‘sharps’ on board the aircraft.
