In 2024, 46 passengers were not allowed to fly due to health reasons at Uzbekistan airports. In the first six months of the current year, 61 passengers were denied permission to fly.
"Most adverse conditions occur during the flight, which is why passengers need to be aware of potential risks and follow flight contraindications. As a result, in 2024, 14 fatal cases were recorded, of which 11 occurred on board the aircraft, and 3 occurred in the arrival hall of Tashkent International Airport. As of today in 2025, 5 fatal cases have been recorded, all of which occurred on board the aircraft before reaching the destination," said Sevara Solikhova, head of the company's medical service development department.
The company also advises passengers not to fly under the following conditions:
recent surgical operations;
acute cardiovascular diseases (e.g., heart attack, unstable angina);
stroke and other acute neurological conditions;
pneumothorax, severe bronchial asthma, pneumonia;
thromboembolism, active bleeding, severe anemia;
barotrauma of the ears, sinuses, and eyes;
late stages of pregnancy, especially if there are severe complications.
