If a child is born in an international plane flying in the sky, then what will be the birthplace and citizenship of that child? These questions must be coming in everyone’s mind.
Notably, there is a ban on air travel for a pregnant woman of 36 weeks, although she can travel by air in some special circumstances.
Now if in such a situation a woman gives birth to a child in a plane going from India to Britain, then now the question is, what will be the birthplace and citizenship of that child be? In such a case it has to be seen that the time at which the child is born, which country’s border was the plane flying at that time?
Documents related to proof of birth can be obtained from the airport authority of the country in which the aircraft lands. Apart from this, the child also has the right to acquire the nationality of his parents.
For example, if a flight from Bangladesh to America has passed through the Indian border and a woman has given birth to a child in this plane, then the birthplace of the child will be considered as India and he can get citizenship here. He can get both the nationality of his parents and also the citizenship of India. But there is a ban on the citizenship of two countries in India.
Such a case has come to the fore in America. A plane was going from Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, to America and during this time a woman gave birth to a baby girl. At that time the plane was flying over the Atlantic Ocean. After the landing, the mother and the child were admitted to a hospital in America. The woman gave birth to a baby girl in the US border. The girl got the citizenship of both the Netherlands and America. But there are different rules in all countries regarding the citizenship of children born in flying aircraft.
