Generally the child would be granted the same citizenship as the parents. There are some countries that demand the child take a dual citizenship if they are born there (you can deny it once you get back to your home country). Be careful on this one. 18 years from now they will come to collect on the mandatory military service obligation!
But in international air space, or on the high seas the child would be given the parents citizenship.

Initially the ship is registered in a country, so could mean that child has that Countries' citizenship. However, the child can claim citizenship of the parents.

It will depend to some extent on the laws of the country in which the ship or aircraft is registered and those to which the parents belong. Also, the nationality of registration of the craft is only relevant if it is in international waters or airspace. However, in general terms I think the child may be able to claim nationality of either or both of the craft and of its parents.

Good Question, It probably depends on the region over which the child is born, or if under international waters, It is probably with the consent of the parents to which country it can claim citizenship.

It relies upon on what u . s . a . the airplane lands in. If a newborn is born onboard, it may be seen a scientific emergency and the airplane could mostlikely could desire to land on the closest airport the place the mummy and toddler could get scientific care and get a start certificates. some international locations (like the U. S.) supply automatic citizenship to a newborn born interior the country, yet some international locations (inclusive of Japan, the place I stay) purely supplies citizenship to the youngster if between the mothers and fathers is a jap citizen. that should mean that if the mummy and newborn land in Japan, and niether the parent is jap, the mummy could could desire to bypass to the embassy, get a passport for the youngster and visa ASAP (i think of it must be achieved in a 2 week timeframe). the youngster ought to no longer depart the country nor re-enter their very own u . s . a . without passport. because of the fact of this many international flights will refuse to allow females of their third trimester to fly. that's a nightmare!

Ireland was ( http://www.uniset.ca/naty ) one of view nations (perhaps the only one) that granted nationalty based on flag of vessel or aircraft. But since last year, they've abolished jus soli except for babies born to British or Irish parents.
So: such a child will have the nationality of one or both its parents, or none at all (if, for example, one of its American parents hasn't lived for 5 years (incl. 2 after age 14) (or the mother, if unmarried, hasn't lived there for one continuous year never leaving, even to visit the Haskell Free Library http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haskell_Free_Library_and_Opera_House whcih sits across the Canadian border with its reading room on one side and the checkout desk on the other) on US soil; of if both British parents were born abroad.
Some kids are just born stateless. Some kids are just born poor. Tough luck.

Just a guess, but based on international laws I do know about, I'd have to say whatever country they first landed on/in. If not, it would probably be whatever country the parents are citizens of and if the parents are citizens of seperate countries, then they'd probably be able to either choose one of the two or duel citizenship in both.

Normally,it would take the citizenship of the mother. But in rare cases,it could take the citizenship of whatever the registry of the aircraft or ship.

Interesting one, i guess it could be the aircraft's place of registration or what airspace the aircraft was passing though at the time. Most likely the nationality of the child will be the nationality of the mother regardless of which air space the child was born.

The nationality of the child is usually determined by the nationality of the mother, I think.
But then again, anything can claim British citizenship.
