The use of private jets by families with children raises practical questions. These aircraft, synonymous with luxury and comfort, offer unrivalled flexibility and convenience. They meet the specific needs of children in terms of safety, comfort and logistics. However, it is important to take into account the different procedures to guarantee children’s safety on board.

AEROAFFAIRES invites you to discover how the world of business aviation is adapting to children.

Using private jets with children

Private jets are becoming increasingly popular with families wishing to travel in optimal conditions. This exclusive mode of transport offers significant advantages in terms of comfort, flexibility and safety, making family travel more pleasant and less stressful. With personalized services and special attention to children’s needs, private jets are the ideal solution for demanding families.

Families who opt for private jets as a travel solution are motivated by :

  • Comfort and convenience: private jets offer hassle-free travel. Families avoid queues and crowds. Children travel in a comfortable, relaxed environment.
  • Flexible schedules : Private jets adapt to family schedules. Flights can be scheduled at any time. This minimizes disruption to children’s routines.
  • Security and privacy on board: Private jets offer enhanced security. Families travel only with their loved ones. This ensures total privacy and reduces the risk of contamination.

What’s more, travel on board a private jet offers a number of advantages specific to children’s well-being:

  • Reduced travel stress: children are less stressed on private jets. The journey is faster and more direct. They can relax and enjoy the flight.
  • Adaptation to children’s specific needs: Meals can be specially prepared. Children’s sleep schedules are respected. Comfort is maximized for their well-being.
  • Child-friendly entertainment: age-appropriate films, games, music and books.
  • Baby facilities : changing tables, bottle warmers.
  • Ability to travel with bulky personal items: Children can bring along their favorite toys. Sports and leisure equipment can be easily transported. This makes the trip more pleasant and familiar for them.

Private jets are an ideal solution for families looking to travel in optimal conditions, while offering a flight experience tailored to children’s needs.

What’s more, various measures are taken to guarantee optimum safety on board.

Safety and regulations for children on private flights

Safety measures for children in private jets are strict and rigorously enforced. Current safety standards, established by international bodies, guarantee optimum protection for young passengers.

Current safety standards

TheInternational Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) tightened safety standards in 2018 for private flights. These standards require that children use approved car seats. Car seats must comply with safety standards such as ECE R44/04 or i-Size (R129). Appropriate seat belts are also mandatory. Each child must be properly secured for the duration of the flight.

Specific protocols for children

AEROAFFAIRES follows specific protocols to ensure the safety of children. Crews receive specialized training to meet the needs of young passengers. They know how to correctly install car seats and adjust seat belts for children. In addition, protocols include pre-takeoff safety checks to ensure that all restraint devices are correctly installed and functional. In this way, AEROAFFAIRES guarantees the safety of all passengers on board.

Regulations and legislation

Regulations for private flights differ from those for commercial flights. The European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) has imposed strict standards for private jets since 2020. These standards include regular inspections and safety audits. Private flights must comply with specific aircraft maintenance and safety requirements.

Civil aviation authorities rigorously monitor the compliance of private jets. Operators must obtain special certifications to prove that they comply with safety standards. These certifications include safety audits, technical checks and unannounced inspections.

In short, child safety on private jets is based on strict standards and rigorous regulations. Parents can travel with peace of mind, knowing that their children benefit from specific safety measures and special attention from the AEROAFFAIRES crew, trained to meet their needs.

Cabin pressurization and children’s well-being on private flights

Cabin pressurization is an essential factor in comfort and safety, especially for children who are more sensitive to pressure variations. Modern private jets maintain an interior pressure equivalent to an altitude of between 1,200 and 2,400 meters, which reduces altitude-related physiological effects.

This adapted pressurization reduces airsickness and fatigue, maintains a higher humidity level than in standard commercial flight, and helps prevent ear pain during ascent and descent.

AEROAFFAIRES selects its aircraft with these criteria in mind, and trains its crew to help families manage these effects, advising them, for example, on simple techniques such as chewing or yawning to balance the pressure in children’s ears.

Optimized pressurization ensures a comfortable, safe flight, fully adapted to the physiological needs of children on private jets.
