An airline in Turkey will offer 'adults only' areas for anyone who can't stand a crying baby on board.

Corendon is the first European company to offer this service, following the example of several international companies such as AirAsia.

The company has just announced that it is introducing child-free zones in one of its lines.

The so-called 'Adult Only' area will be accessible to passengers over the age of 16 and will initially operate on flights between Amsterdam and the Caribbean island of Curaçao.

The company will begin offering the service this November.

The child-free zone will be located at the front of the plane and will have 93 seats reserved for passengers over 16 years of age.

The area will be separated from the rest of the aircraft by walls and curtains. To purchase a seat in the 'Adults Only' area, passengers will have to pay an additional €45.

Corendon founder Atilay Uslu said the child-free zone aims to "accommodate passengers looking for peace during their flight" and will ensure parents are less concerned about the inconvenience they may cause to other passengers.

"Parents can travel without worrying about their children making noise," he said.

What other airlines have child-free zones?

Corendon is the first airline in Europe to offer adult-only areas, but several international companies already have this service.

AirAsia X has a 'Quiet Zone' on A330 long-haul flights, which is reserved for passengers aged 12 and over.

Scoot, a low-cost carrier in Singapore, has 'ScootinSilence' cabins on its flights. These are also only accessible to travelers over 12 years of age.
