Document background
The Flight Consent Form is an essential document required under Nigerian law when minors travel by air, whether domestically or internationally. This document becomes necessary in various scenarios, including when children travel alone, with one parent, or with third parties. The form must comply with the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) regulations, the Child Rights Act 2003, and international aviation standards. It typically includes detailed information about the minor, travel itinerary, parental/guardian authorization, emergency contacts, and medical information. The document serves multiple purposes: it provides airlines with necessary authorization, assists immigration authorities, ensures child protection, and establishes clear lines of responsibility during travel. Given Nigeria's strict regulations regarding minor travel, this form is a crucial component of air travel documentation for young passengers.
