If A Baby Is Born On A Plane, Which Country’s Citizenship Will He Or She Receive?

Didn't you ask yourself what would happen If a baby was born on a plane, which country’s citizenship will he or she receive? We got the answer by a pilot himself.


There are a few options. The child could be a citizen of:

The country over which the child was born,
The country in which the airline is registered,
The country in which the plane landed.
In most cases, the second option is the most popular, but in the end, the decision is made by the airline, taking the law into account. Some airlines gift babies a bonus like the chance to fly for free to any place of the world during their entire life.

For example, if a child is born with the United States airspace they would become an American national. However, if that country doesn’t allow the child born in the country to become a citizen, it will then adopt the nationality of either the mother or father.
