Another Airline Creates Kid-Free Areas

Posted: Updated:

NBCNEWS.COM - Another airline has decided to go ahead and create kids-free zones on its flights.

AirAsia, a popular budget airline based in southeast Asia, launched a new booking system that allows passengers to reserve a seat in a so-called "quiet zone" with no children under 12 allowed at no extra cost, the Telegraph reports.

The zone consists of seven rows on the airline's Airbus A330s and will launch in February, according to NBC News.

Yet the zone comes with exceptions. On their website, the airline states that it may allow passengers under 12 in the quiet zone if it's "necessary for operational, safety or security reasons." Check out the map here.

In April of this year, Malaysian Airlines banned children in the upper deck economy section of their A380s.
