that got me thinking...... what do they put on your birth certificate for 'place of birth' if you are born on an aircraft? is it the nearest landmass? do you get to choose? does anyone know?!

25 years ago a relative of mine was born on a flight mid way between the UK and Cyprus or Malta not sure which now. Her birth certificate states exactly that and she has been told not only can she have a UK passport but one for the other country as well !!!

People who are born on boats get a birth certificate that reads "born at sea"; but I suppose if the airplane is over a landmass, that would be the place of birth (but I'm guessing).

If I had to guess it would be the destination city where the baby is taken off the plane since that is probably where the mother and child will be taken to the hospital and where the application for the birth certificate will be filled out based on information from the attending physician.

Will be easier.
To have cabin crew with experience with St. John or the Red Cross.
What do you think?

They use the native country of the airline company.

Technically a UK aircraft is still UK territory so I would assume that a baby would be a uk citizen.

Dee is correct. It is the nationality of the air carrier.
