Children up to 12 years of age are not allowed to fly unless accompanied by an adult. Your child may, however, travel as an ‘unaccompanied minor’ if the airline provides this service (usually from the age of 5). Ask your travel agency or airline for advice.
Most airlines provide a paid service for unaccompanied minors. Unaccompanied children should be dropped off at Antwerp Aurport by a responsible parent or guardian and met at their destination airport. During the journey, they will be under the permanent supervision of an airline staff member.
This service must be reserved with the airline when you book your ticket. For obvious reasons, rigorous procedures and identity checks apply to unaccompanied children. Please check with your travel agency or airline before booking a flight.
