Important information regarding Minors & Children below the age of 18 years traveling to the UAE:
Children aged 5 to 18 years can travel alone to the UAE only as unaccompanied minors, and must have a copy of their parents' passports. They also need to have a form filled out by their parents with relevant details of their home address/U.A.E. address, and information about who will be receiving them in the UAE.
If the minor or child is traveling with another family member, an authorization letter from the parents or guardians, along with a copy of the parent or guardian's passport, is required.
The minor may be deported if immigration suspects illegal activity and the provided information is insufficient to address it. In such cases, the normal INAD process and subsequent fines will apply.
Children aged 12 to 15 years are considered Young Passengers (YP) and can travel alone on most flights, except for those to Dubai, where only children up to 18 years can travel as Unaccompanied Minors. However, parents or guardians have the option to request Unaccompanied Minor services for Young Passengers, in which case the applicable procedure and fee will apply.
Young Passengers receive the same care as Unaccompanied Minors, but they cannot act as guardians or companions to Unaccompanied Minors.
Scenarios:
If a child aged 5 to 12 is accompanied by a Young Passenger (YP) who is 15 years or older, no charges apply.
If a child aged 5 to 12 is accompanied by a YP who is under 15 years old, the Unaccompanied Minor (UNMR) service is charged for the child passenger, while no charges apply for the YP.
Unaccompanied minor passengers must report to the airport at least two hours prior to departure for a domestic flight and three hours prior to departure for an international flight.
At the time of check-in, the unaccompanied minor and their parent(s) or guardian must both present valid photo identification.
An airport staff member will assist the child until the time of boarding, after which our cabin crew will look after the child. The child on board will receive the finest care possible from our cabin crew throughout the flight. A complimentary eatable and beverage (from the options available) will also be provided. Parents are requested to pack their child's favourite toy or game, medication, warm clothing, and other items in their hand baggage to ensure that they have a comfortable flight.
The web check-in facility is not open for unaccompanied minors. To check in for their flight, they must go to the airport check-in counters.
The parent or guardian must remain at the airport until the flight departs.
Unaccompanied minors are charged an extra fee per sector. The charges, sector-wise, are given below.
