As far as travelling with airlines in patients with AAA is concerned, the NHS screening programme reports that the Association of British Insurers (ABI) has been advised that AAAs are no more likely to rupture at altitude than on the ground and it is not aware of any airlines operating a standing rule about refusing patients with this condition. The ABI is also unaware of any travel insurance policies that contain a specific exclusion for AAAs as part of their standard wording.
