SCAT Airlines transports children both accompanied and unaccompanied by adult passengers.
Unaccompanied minors are accepted for transportation by SCAT Airlines only after their parents or Guardians have completed and signed the form for transportation of an unaccompanied minor. An accompanying person, if this is not the parent or legal guardian of the child, must issue a power of attorney certified by a notary to transport an unaccompanied child, when transported on domestic flights between the ages of 6 and 18 years.
For international transportation, it is additionally necessary to have a notarized consent from parents (guardians) to allow their child to be transported on an international flight of an airline unaccompanied at the age of 6 to 18 years (indicating the date of departure and the state that he intends to visit).
