For passengers who require medical attention or special equipment during the flight, the MEDIF form must be completed, which must be completed by the passenger's doctor and sent to GOL between 15 days and 72 hours before boarding. After a careful analysis of the form, our team issues a report that certifies whether the passenger's is able or not to make the air travel.
