Unaccompanied Minor Service

Children traveling alone, unaccompanied, should be accompanied by their parents to the airport at the requested check-in time and picked up by the authorized adult at the disembarking port. You can visit the Kenya Airways website to download and fill out the Unaccompanied Minor form. Please make sure that you fill all the information requested to facilitate the child’s trip and that the child has a pouch or a pocket with all the complete information gathered and written down. This information will be collected at the check-in counter of Kenya Airways at the airport before the flight. Parents of the Unaccompanied Minor will be asked to stay at the airport until the flight in which their children are embarking has deplaned.
