Flying for high pressure patient

My father is 65 years old diabetic and kidney patient with high pressure. His pressure usually remains around 160 -180 systolic and 120-140 diastolic with slight fluctuations. He regularly takes medicines for high blood pressure. Is it safe for him to fly?

His BP is not controlled with whatever medicines he is taking. Take online consultation for the modification of treatment.

Flights usually don't alter body parameters significantly for longer duration in healthy individual. Get your fathers  bp in normal range...which is on significantly higher side. And consult with physician about medication for better control
