It's not the parents nationality.
It's not the pilot's nationality.
It's not the nationality of the areoplane company.
It's not the nationality of the place where it took off
or where it lands.

It was born in Ayr. ta-da!
not to knock the wind outta your sails, but according to the "1961 Convention on the Reduction of Statelessness" such a baby would be granted the citizenship of the country where the plane registered.
