Core Tip	Patients with cavitary pulmonary tuberculosis (CPTB) could have an active infection for longer periods than non-CPTB patients. Air travel may be inevitable for these patients, but the paucity of consistent guidelines regulating the protocol for permitting air travel for such patients renders decision making difficult. Based on this case, we think that if air travel is unavoidable for patients with CPTB who are still considered potentially infectious, it might be possible to board the flight if proper anti-TB medication is administered, confirmatory acid-fast bacilli smear tests are negative, and a suitable N95 mask is worn under observation.
