To Ensure a Comfortable and Safe Journey, Here Is the Air Travel Guide for Pregnant Passengers
This guide helps ensure that passengers are truly fit to travel by air, taking into account gestational age, health condition, and previous pregnancy history.
J A K A R T A, 22 December 2025 – Traveling during pregnancy certainly requires extra attention. Lion Group understands that every expectant mother wishes to travel safely, comfortably, and with peace of mind—whether for family matters, work, or other needs.
As part of Lion Group’s commitment to passenger safety and comfort, these provisions are implemented uniformly (applicable to all) at all airports for Lion Group departures. The guidelines are prepared based on mandatory considerations that must be stated (included) in a doctor’s letter, namely:
- gestational age, and
- pregnancy condition, and
- a statement confirming that the pregnant passenger is truly fit/healthy to undertake air travel (fitness for air travel) by aircraft.
Air Travel Guidelines for Pregnant Passengers
32 weeks + 1 day to 35 weeks
Normal pregnancy, without complications (singleton or twin).
Permitted to travel, provided all required documents are fulfilled and carried during the journey.
| Gestational Age | Pregnancy Condition | Travel Eligibility | Requirements & Documents to Prepare |
|---|---|---|---|
| Below 32 weeks | Normal pregnancy, without complications (singleton or twin). | Permitted to travel, provided all required documents are fulfilled and carried during the journey |
|
| |||
| 35 weeks + 1 day and above | Normal pregnancy (singleton or twin). | Not permitted to travel. | For the safety and comfort of both mother and baby, air travel is not allowed. |
| All Gestational Ages | Pregnancy with disorders or complications (e.g., bleeding, preeclampsia, risk of preterm labor, etc.). | Not permitted to travel. | For the safety and comfort of both mother and baby, air travel is not allowed. |
Why Are These Guidelines Beneficial for Pregnant Passengers?
- Provides early certainty on whether travel can be undertaken,
- Helps avoid health risks during the flight,
- Offers greater peace of mind as pregnancy conditions are confirmed to be safe/healthy for flying,
- Enables a more planned and comfortable air travel experience.
Lion Group encourages all pregnant passengers to prepare their travel plans early, consult medical professionals, and carry documents stating gestational age, fitness to fly, and previous pregnancy history.
