What is the primary use of First Aid Kits on aircraft?

First Aid Kits on aircraft are primarily designed for the basic care of minor injuries that may occur during a flight. These kits typically contain supplies such as band-aids, antiseptics, gauze, and other materials suitable for treating cuts, bruises, and other minor health issues that may arise in the confined environment of an aircraft.

The content of these kits allows cabin crew to provide immediate assistance until more advanced medical care can be sought upon landing. While the kits may contain some basic medications, they are not primarily intended for complex treatments or professional medical procedures. In situations involving serious injuries or illnesses, trained medical personnel are required, as aircraft are not equipped for major surgeries or advanced medical interventions.
