Question:
My grand son went to Japan last year for 30 days went to school there & returned safe. However I think this year is unsafe due to earthquake & radiation etc. If by some chance people meeting him @ the plane are delayed, the Airline must turn child over to authority. Or perhaps the plane needs to land some where else. Don't understand how airlines can allow small children to fly across the world in these times. Anything can happen now days. Sending child off to Japan denials other half of family any visitation in summer. Worried Grandma.
Answer:
You don't say how old he is, but people send children alone to/from Japan every day - it's called Unaccompanied Minor (UMNR) -- and both JAL and ANA take children as young as 5 years old. (Twelve and older is considered adult and ticketed as such). Of course they are watching the child at all times, and they have the name, address and phone number of the people taking him/her to the airport as well as picking the kid up. The plane is not going to be forced to land somewhere else due to what is happening with the nuclear site - chances are near zero.
And even if it did happen, they are in charge of the child until they hand the kid off to the relatives coming to pick the kid up.
Please please calm down and don't overreact.
