The child's birthplace would be "on an airplane" and the child would be a US citizen because:
#1 the child's parents are married.
#2 the child's parents are US residents
So a child born to US residents is a US citizen regardless of where the child is born.
The US recognizes dual citizenship given how many Israeli citizens have US Citizenship as well.
If the parents live in Tokyo and the father is a US citizen - the child remains a US citizen because the father has some residence (or works for the US Embassy in Tokyo which is considered US soil).

I'm no expert, but this is my answer...First the child's mother can not still be a Swedish citizen if she is traveling under a US passport; you must be a US citizen to obtain a US passport. Secondly, I don't think air can be classified as a part of any Country because it clearly cannot be owned; which brings me to my point (and the most logical answer I could come up with) that the child would probably be a US/ American Citizen because of these factors.

a million. in accordance to U.N. regulations, the birthplace might honestly be born in the airplane's registered united states of america. which would be notably much everywhere! Citizenship could honestly be desperate in accordance with no remember while you're flying into or out of a united states of america. 2.What you will possibly no longer understand is the borders for citizenship. those born interior of U.S. ports and harbors or interior of 12 nautical miles of U.S. borders are additionally individuals. Even toddlers born on planes flying over the U.S. or its territories obtain U.S. citizenship. The deliver or airplane's united states of america of beginning place makes no difference concerning citizenship

The child would definitely have the option to be a US citizen. If the child has the option of being a citizen of another country the US requires the child to make a choice on his/her 18th birthday to be a US citizen or citizen of another country. The US does not recognize dual citizenship.

When dealing with the birthplace of someone who was born outside of any country, the correct location is "At Sea". Most genealogical databases that categorize birthplaces generally have a Misc. option for that very reason.
Citizenship would be determined by the residence of the individual. It they were traveling, they would still be a Swede, just born outside of their country.

I heard somewhere that it is either where the plane originated from or where the plane is in international waters. Sorry, can't remember which. Maybe it also depends on the parents and what country their passports are under.

The laws are different for every country in relationship to dual citizenship with another country. You can check out the site for the U.S. Ambassador to Sweden which may provide a link to ask their office at:
http://stockholm.usembassy.gov/
or you can ask the U.S. site at:

the child is a japanese swedish american. a tri citizen. the swedish/american part is obvious: the japanese part is due because the japanese airliner is technically japanese soil.

Depends if the plane landed safely. If they crashed on landing and everyone burned up it doesn't matter.
