<jats:title>Summary</jats:title><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Introduction</jats:title>
<jats:p>Allergic reactions are reported to account for approximately 2–4% of all medical emergencies on commercial airline flights. In 2016, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) published recommendations on risk prevention in severe allergies.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
<jats:p>Using a written questionnaire and an internet search, an investigation was conducted on the extent to which airlines operating in Germany have implemented the IATA recommendations and, e.g., offer peanut/nut allergy sufferers appropriate measures.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Results</jats:title>
<jats:p>Only 14 of the 104 airlines contacted responded to the written survey. Of 115 airlines, 72 provided information for allergy sufferers on their homepage, but mostly in insufficient detail. No results were found for the search term “allergy” (or “Allergie”) on the websites of 43 airlines. The information on the individual airlines has been summarized in table form.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Discussion</jats:title>
<jats:p>The information offered by many airlines for passengers with allergies is insufficient. To offer greater guidance, updated information has been formulated in German and English, and its use is recommended.</jats:p>
