Yes, minors can usually travel alone on private jets, provided they meet the minimum age requirement, typically between 12 and 13 years old, although some operators allow children as young as 7 to fly alone. For minors under 16 traveling without an adult, a legal guardian must complete a Chain of Custody form. This form specifies an approved contact at the destination, who must present identification to the flight crew before the minor is handed over.
Many operators mandate that a flight attendant accompany the unaccompanied minor in the cabin. Additionally, the flight crew, often the captain or pilot in command, might be responsible for escorting the minor between the aircraft and the FBO during any necessary en route stops, such as for refueling. These extra responsibilities may lead to additional costs.
