The Child automatically carries the County of Origin of that particular airline

That is
If its Egypt Air, the child automatically has his/her birth origin from Egypt
If its Dana Air, the child automatically becomes a citizen of Nigeria

Same goes for other airline......

The country that has the airplane should give the child automatic citizenship.

very much like what somebody said earlier, it depends on the citizenship laws of the country they are going to and citizenship laws of the vessels (Air France), naturally, the baby would be registered upon arrival or in this instance, they french could also register the baby.... it is a fluid situation and it could go anyway.

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?

The country where the airline belongs to

Vannlex:

the country that the baby was born at that point in time, means the baby is a citizen of that country
No. It is the country where the airplane touched down first and the baby receives its first medical attention. That's the country of citizenship

Citizenship laws differ depending on the country. For example, in the UK, citizenship is not automatically conferred to those born in Britain.

In the United States, even a child born in the country's waters or airspace is a U.S. citizen by birth in accordance with the principle of jus soli (right of the soil) -- that's the right of anyone born in the territory of a state to nationality or citizenship.

Some babies born in an airplane enroute wherever even get free flights for life.
Well said! grin
