Proper preparation and consideration of air transport can help alleviate medical emergencies and ensure safe delivery. However, crewmembers and neonates may face stress during transportation. To date, there are few studies on neonatal air transportation in Taiwan.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>CASE REPORT:<\/jats:bold> We present the case of a late preterm neonate born with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome and polycythemia, who was also diagnosed with patent ductus arteriosus and mild pulmonary arterial hypertension on echocardiography. Due to disease progression, the neonate underwent endotracheal intubation and was subsequently transported to a medical center in Taiwan via a rotary-wing aircraft at 3 d of age. During takeoff and landing, a temporary oxygen desaturation event occurred. The physiological changes in these patients have seldom been discussed. This case emphasizes the important considerations of neonatal transport in Taiwan.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:bold> The air transport process could be influenced by both the patient\u2019s medical condition and environmental factors. In preterm infants with cardiopulmonary conditions, thorough assessment is necessary for ensuring safe transportation.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Li S-P, Hsu P-C, Huang C-Y, Wu P-W, Fang H-H. <jats:italic>Air transportation impact on a late preterm neonate<\/jats:italic>.
