there are two types of citizenship one is natural-born, and the other is naturalized. when you are natural born citizen you can either be a citizen jus sanguinis or jus soli. in jus sanguinis the citizenship is determined by the citizenship of the parents, by mother, father, or both depending on the countries constitution. jus soli is being a citizen of a country where you were born, if you were born in the US, by virtue of jus soli you are a US citizen. any nation can adopt jus soli, jus sanguinis or both in determing the citizenship of an individual. now if you are born on an airplane you can apply these principles if your father's and mother's, respective countries permit it. if your father is an american and your mother is a japanese, for example, and you were born on an airplane in a high seas, your citizenship under jus soli principle will be the country on which the airplane has been registered. if the airplane has been registered on japan, you are a japanese.

it's usually the nationality of the birth parents. It's in international waters. It's a myth that you can choose any citizenship. You can actually only claim the citizenship of your parents. the only choice would be which parent.
However, you might be able to petition the country of the carrier you flew on since the vehicle is governed by laws of that flagged vessel nation.

If you are born in an Airborne Plane then you would be a world citizen, and you have a right to claim citizenship at any airport you land. Thats why they don't fly girls who are about to pop ;-)

Could be the place you are flying above....or of the nearest place to you. Or it could also be the nationality of either of your parents,if none of the above conditions exist. I mean,umm,if at the time of birth,you were nowhere near any particular country and were flying above sea..say,a kind of No Man's Land,then you could probably get nationality of either of your parents.

I knew a boy like that. I believe his mom was flying in the United States, so he is still considered a US citizen. Just wasn't born in a particular state.

This can go two ways. You can consider yourself whatever you want but if I beleive that it all depends on your background. That's what makes you who you are. Even if you were born on the border of U.S. and Canada if your background is French then you are French and neither American nor Canadian.

The nation of your parents, which could be two nations, like Japanese/Trinadadian.

It will probably have something to do with the nationality of the parents...

I believe it's from whatever country you're flying from, or maybe it's to.... oh well. I think you also have the option of becoming a citizen of whatever country your parents are from. I'm not sure.
