Unaccompanied Minor
"Unaccompanied Minor" is a new item of civil aviation service,
by which children can travel by air by themselves. Unaccompanied
minors are the children who have reached 5 years of age and have
not reached 12 years of age and will travel by air by
themselves.
Since "unaccompanied Minor" was brought forth, the airlines in
China have transported tens of thousands children. It greatly
conveniences the parents who are busy working and whose children
have to take planes and saves a lot for the parents who should have
accompanied their children. It produced so much favorable comment
from all circles of society. Every vacation, the alone-air-travel
of the child passengers has become particular scenery.
Special Passenger
Passengers disabled or ill must get doctor's approvals and
present triplicated certificates of diagnosis, which should list
clear indication of the state of illness. The certificate should be
signed by doctor and sealed by hospital.
The certificate diagnosis written 96 hours before departure is
valid. If the patient passenger's condition is bad, the limited
time should be 48 hours before departure.
Pregnant Woman
Women pregnant for or less than 32 weeks can be treated as
general passengers, except diagnosed by doctor unsuited for
traveling by air.
Women pregnant more than 32 weeks must present the certificate
diagnosis written by doctor in 72 hours, sealed by the carrier
appointed hospital, and signed by the doctor of this hospital.
Women, whose expected date of childbirth within 4 weeks or
uncertain, and who will have multiple births or intending to come
on labor complications, are unacceptable.?
