Children under the age of 2 must be accompanied by an adult passenger who has reached the age of 18.

If no one meets the unaccompanied child at the point of arrival, the airline representative or authorized agent shall make the necessary decisions to ensure the child‘s safety based on the “Parent or Guardian’s Declaration”, including returning the child to the airport of original departure or to the country of destination.
