At times, it may be required that a child may have to fly alone on a flight.

• Minors aged between 12-15 are allowed to travel alone after they have filled the "Form of Indemnity."
• No special service or attendants are provided for the unaccompanied minors.

• For passengers flying through the European Union, the age restriction has to be checked depending upon the nation one is flying to, and so the age restrictions should be checked beforehand.
