We believe everyone should have a safe and enjoyable inflight experience. No matter their age. Which is why we’re here to look after our young flyers from check-in to arrival with our Unaccompanied Minors handling service.
An unaccompanied minor is any passenger aged between 5 to below 12 years old who is not travelling with an adult (18 years or older) on the same flight and class of travel. If your child is below 5 years of age, for their safety, we cannot allow them to travel unaccompanied. The Unaccompanied Minor handling service is mandatory for passengers aged 5 to below 12 years old and optional for passengers aged 12 to below 16 years old.
Note that if you opt for the Unaccompanied Minors Handling Service, you may only book your child’s tickets by contacting your local Air Tanzania office.
