The kid was born in an airplane in the sky. What nationality would it be? Well what ever the mother is obviously. It doesn't matter where the plane is coming from, you're in international airspace so if a child were to be born there it's not going to be international is it? It'll just take the birth place of the mother. And when they land the mother and child will go to a hospital, and that hospital will be what appears on the birth certificate as place of birth.

The child will be able to claim dual nationalities, this is because the child is entitled to his mother's nationality based on blood rights or "ius sanguinis" - because the child can claim his or her mother's nationality. Also as international law recognizes aircraft as soil of the state of the aircraft flag of registration, then the child can also request that nationality.
So given the case if the mother is a US citizen, and she was flying aboard Copa Airlines, the child is both a Panamanian and a US Citizen. The same would apply if it was a Panamanian mother and a US aircraft.

This depends:
A plane is considered a territory of whatever country it belongs to.
It it was an American Plane -- she was born in America, if it was Panama's plane she was born in Panama.

Whatever country the mother is a citizen of. I am tired of the old "whoever is born in the States has all rights, gets all our tax money's and our kids have to sweat it, and struggle to get through college " law. If the parent is a legal citizen, then yes, put USA, but if not the send them both back as soon as her "vacation" is over. No, I'm not mean, and I'm not a racist. But we have to start thinking ahead to our children and their childrens futures, and to all our political futures. These "illegal" children will grow up and vote. (One guy even said this on national t.v. during the big "rights revolt" thing they had.) What then???
Anyway about your question, you are still flying over one country or the other, or over waters governed by someone. Who were you over?

If I recall correctly, the baby is said to be born in the destination country; in some cases, depending on the country and the treaties, there may even be dual citizenship (again, depending on the treaties of the country the mother departed from and the US).

As some have already answered, the child will have the nationality of whatever country the airline belongs to.
