Fit to Fly Certificate in Madrid
Airlines can ask for written medical confirmation that you are fit to fly - commonly after recent illness, surgery or hospital treatment, with a stable chronic condition, or in later pregnancy. Our doctors review your history and, where the assessment supports it, issue a signed fit to fly certificate you can send straight to the airline. Whether you're a tourist visiting Madrid, an expat living in Community of Madrid, or a resident needing quick access to a medical certificate, our online doctors can help you get the fit to fly certificate you need.
Healthcare in Madrid: what visitors and residents should know
How local care works in Madrid and across Community of Madrid, Spain — and where an online doctor fits alongside it.
Madrid's public healthcare is run by SERMAS, the Servicio Madrileño de Salud, the health service of the Community of Madrid. Spanish is the only official language, so there is no bilingual layer to navigate, but English provision in public facilities is limited outside the largest teaching hospitals. State healthcare is run at regional level, so the rules you meet depend on where you are rather than on Spain as a whole. EU, EEA and Swiss visitors holding an EHIC (or a UK GHIC) can use public primary care and emergency departments on the same terms as residents, though you will normally be asked for the card plus photo ID at reception. Outside surgery hours, pharmacies operate a rota — the farmacia de guardia — and the duty pharmacy is posted in the window of every closed chemist. As Spain's capital and its main international air hub, Madrid concentrates two very different needs: a large resident population of embassy staff, international students and corporate transferees who need continuity of care, and a constant flow of transiting travellers who need something resolved before a connecting flight. The city is inland at around 650 metres on the Meseta, which gives it a genuinely continental climate — summer highs well above those of the coastal resorts, with no sea breeze, and cold dry winters. Heat-related illness in July and August is a real presentation here, not a coastal cliché.

Is this the same as a flight cancellation certificate?
No, they are opposites. A fit to fly certificate confirms you are medically safe to travel. A flight cancellation certificate documents that you are not, so you can support a rebooking or an insurance claim.
