It is not very common for babies to be born while flying at 36,000 feet, but when it does happen it is generally a newsworthy event for a plane to land with one more passenger than it had when it took off. This week, a mom gave birth to a healthy baby on an Air France flight from Paris to New York before they could reach the ground at JFK. Luckily, there was a doctor on board to manage the situation until they could get the mama and baby some on-the-ground medical attention, and in this case, everything seems to have worked out just fine.

A common question that comes up when this happens (in addition to does the baby get free flights?) is what citizenship is a baby given when they are born on an airplane?

This show is reducing my sleeping time. I’m still in season 2. It’s second to the Originals in my ranking

May your wife not put to bed on a flight from US to Nigeria.

It means the baby won't be a grounder.... he'll be a citizen of Skaikru.

omosefeeguaibor:
I guess the child's citizenship will take the country of where the plane was registered kind of, that is at least logical

Politiculator:
The country where the plane was currently located before the child was born.
If it was over the Atlantic ocean, then the child belongs to the Marine spirit. If it is over India, the child is an Indian and may likely worship cows.
If it is over Alqaeda, then the child is a terrorist.
If it is over Edo, then the child is not a child but your ancestor who is flying with the plane.

Exact question I thought of when I heard the news. I also think the country of destination will claim the child on arrival, since that is the first country the child is entering.

Someone with facts should please answer.

nextstep:
Depends on the situation.

For some countries, citizenship is granted on basis of blood (i.e. your parents, no matter where, and what vessel).

Then in addition, some countries (e.g. US) grant citizenship if child is born in or over its territories.

And third, depending on where the plane is registered (if the country is signatory to the Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness agreement), said child is a citizen of the country of registry.

I wanted to ask this question last week but I remembered a topic was created sometimes ago and it makes front page but seems the op missed the topic or is a new nairalander

If a plane is travelling to UK when the baby is born the baby is definitely a UK citizen and if the baby comes to the world and he was born while coming from US to Nigeria then he is definitely a Nigeria born

Tallesty1:
A citizen of flight mode.

The show kind of goes downhill in season 3 but season 4 was fire.

The originals disappointed me with their latest season......but I'm already hooked on it,so I've got to stick around for the final run.

I used to think it's the country in which the airline is registered.
