Our cabin crew are thoroughly trained in giving first aid, and there is medical equipment on board for many kinds of situations. For example, there are painkillers, nasal drops, diarrhea medicines, wound dressings, and oxygen available for first aid situations. All Finnair’s long-haul aircraft have defibrillators on board for treating heart arrhythmia. If you should fall seriously ill, the cabin crew on any Finnair flight can contact global medical services via satellite phone to receive instructions on patient care and to find out if a diversion is in order.
