If a child is born in an airplane, where is it from?

If a child born in an airplane,then whats is his/her citizenship?

  • Answer:

    different countries have different laws on that. the US considers any child born while flying over the US as born in the US, as an example. I can't speak for Indian laws, but the child would almost certainly be eligible for US citizenship based on the father. he'd have to have at least 5 years of US residency, including 2 after the age of 14, but if that's the case, he could register the birth of the child in KL and get a passport as well. I don't see any possibility of Australian citizenship since neither parent is Australian.

The child's citizenship is the same as if it had been born in a hospital in any of those countries. It is the same as the citizenship as the parents. For now. India does not allow dual citizenship because they won't curtail their breeding, and they need to offload their excess population onto the rest of the world. So at age 18, the child will have to choose only one citizenship.

the child may have multiple citizenship options.he or she can opt for either american or indian citizenship.but in classical international law he can opt :these options also - 1. the plane in which he is traveling entitles him to opt for citizenship of the owner country. of the plane. 2. He can opt for the country from where the plane was crossing while he/she was born. These are traditional international law of nationality.The chapter on nationality deals with these options.You can search in the web on the topic of Nationality under international law and decide.
