Aurigny Unaccompanied Minors Policy
For all travel after 5th November 2018, Aurigny will no longer carry unaccompanied children (aged 0-13 years) on any services, apart from direct flights between Alderney-Guernsey.
This is to ensure the safety and welfare of the travelling child in the event of
a diversion and/or overnight stop. In these circumstances Aurigny are unable to
provide appropriate care and previously have been forced to seek assistance from
Social Services. For travel after 5th November, a new Child Companion fare is
available for any adult travelling with the child who would normally be
travelling alone.
As an exception, Aurigny continue to operate the Unaccompanied Minors scheme
between Guernsey-Alderney, where there are family networks/responsible adults in
place at either end and risk of diversion is significantly reduced. If there is
the risk of weather disruption, the Unaccompanied Minor will have to be rebooked
onto an alternative service.
Youths aged 14 & 15 can travel unaccompanied and may be booked online. Each
Youth must have his/her own passport ID. A parent/guardian must agree a
disclaimer on our website acknowledging the young person can take care of
themselves during any delays and disruption, including unexpected overnight
diversions. Additionally the young passenger must have the unaccompanied young
passenger consent form, fully completed, signed and attached to a copy of the
parent/guardians passport, with them at all times. If they do not they are not
able to take care of themselves or do not have the consent form when travelling
they will be refused carriage and no refund of their flight ticket will be made.
If you are allowing your child to fly alone as an unaccompanied minor, be sure
to take every necessary precaution to ensure his or her safety.
