Follow your company’s procedures for getting medical assistance and tell your pilot about the death or ill traveler as soon as possible. Early reporting ensures prompt ground response to maximize timely care, reduce the risk for spreading disease, and minimize travel disruption.

Per U.S. federal regulations for U.S. arrivals, report as soon as possible any onboard deaths or ill travelers (see symptoms below) on flights to or within the United States.
