A number of rules are applicable for flying with children

An adult passenger is entitled to transport an infant of no more than 2 years old without assigning a separate seat (at the rate of 10% of an adult fare) with the mandatory issuance of a ticket for the infant. Each next infant under 2 accompanied by an adult, as well as children aged 2 to 12 are transported with a discounted rate ticket stipulated by the rate rules applicable by the Air Company "SHIRAK AVIA".

When issuing a passenger ticket for a child and during the check-in procedure, a passenger (or the person accompanying the child) should present a document stating the age of the child (passport ) to the air company.

A child's age is calculated as of the date of transportation, at the departure point, stated on the air ticket. The Air Company "SHIRAK AVIA" or its authorized agent is obliged to indicate the child's date of birth on the ticket.

In case the actual age stated on the air ticket does not correspond to reality "SHIRAK AVIA" is entitled to reject the child's transportation or require issuing a new air ticket at a discount that corresponds to the actual age of the child.

The departure of a minor child from Armenia is performed in accordance with the current law.
