Airplane travel for preterm

July 20, 201114 yr

Is there any safe minimum weight/corrected gestational age for preterm babies to fly in airplanes? (Preterm with no chronic lung disease. )

Any references ?

This is a common question among parents also in Sweden... and our answer is that noone really knows and that parents need to decide for themselves when they want to travel with their babies by plane. There are no Swedish guidelines but British guidelines published here: http://adc.bmj.com/content/93/6/528.extract
