When are children accepted as Unaccompanied Minors on Aeromexico flights?

An Unaccompanied Minor refers to a child whose age is between 5 and 13 years and 11 months old and who will not be accompanied on the flight by an adult passenger. The Unaccompanied Minors service is mandatory.
Minors between 14 and 18 years old can also be accepted as Unaccompanied Minors when their parents specifically requested the Unaccompanied Minor service. The Unaccompanied Minors service is optional.
Unaccompanied Minor Service (UMNR)
The Unaccompanied Minor Service (UMNR) comprises support at the check-in counters, departure lounge, care before boarding, coordination with the flight attendants before and during the boarding process, care during the flight, guidance, and custody of the child if there is a connection in the itinerary, and hand over to the person responsible at the destination airport.
The Unaccompanied Minor must be in the departing airport, for both domestic and international flights, at least three hours before departure time in case paperwork is needed. Parents or legal guardians should remain at the airport until the flight has departed and is informed about that by Aeromexico staff.
