Kenya Airways Unaccompanied Minor Policy

Kenya Airways Unaccompanied Minor Policy

Kenya Airways provides an Unaccompanied Minor (UM) service for children traveling alone, available to children aged 5 to 17 years.

Children aged 5 to 11 must travel as unaccompanied minors, while those aged 12 to 17 can opt for the service for added assistance.

The UM service must be booked in advance, as there is a limited number of spaces available on each flight. Parents or guardians are required to check in the child at the airport, where Kenya Airways staff will take over the child’s care.

The airline staff will escort the child through security, boarding, and disembarkation. Once onboard, flight attendants will ensure the child’s safety and comfort during the flight. The service usually incurs an additional fee, which varies depending on the route.

Upon arrival, the airline ensures the child is handed over to a designated adult, who must present identification to verify their identity.

It's essential for parents or guardians to familiarize themselves with the specific requirements and procedures of Kenya Airways's Unaccompanied Minor service. They can find detailed information on Kenya Airways's official website or by contacting Kenya Airways's customer service team directly. It's recommended to review the airline's policy well in advance of the child's travel date to ensure compliance with all necessary arrangements and documentation.
