Ashya King's family have told of their delight after he arrived in the Czech Republic for specialist proton treatment on his brain tumour.
The five-year-old and his parents Brett, 51, and Naghmeh, 45, travelled from Materno Infantil hospital in Malaga, where he was treated for nine days, to Malaga airport.
They then flew by air ambulance for the three-hour flight to Prague "with all the guarantees regarding the care this youngster needs," said a spokesman for Materno Infantil hospital.
On arrival in Prague, Mr King told Sky News: "We're just so happy to be here, it's taken us a month but Ashya can finally have his proton treatment."
Ashya's father Brett takes a taxi to Malaga airport The Proton Therapy Centre, where he will receive the specialist treatment, gave the go-ahead for him to travel after reviewing documentation from the Spanish hospital.
Ashya was driven by ambulance to Prague's Motol University Hospital, five miles from the private clinic, and taken into intensive care.
He will be taken to the clinic for tests on Tuesday, and all being well, should begin his proton treatment on Monday, said Sky's David Bowden, in Prague.
Bowden spotted the little boy being carried on a stretcher from the airport and said he "seemed quite happy and alert".
Ashya and his brother Naveed Earlier, Sky's Lisa Holland saw the family leave hospital in Malaga, and said: "He (Mr King) clearly looked very, very relieved.
"This is a man who told us in a press conference a few days ago how pained he was by this whole situation.
"How he heard his wife crying in a police cell while they spent three days in custody, and they overnighted in a Madrid prison cell awaiting extradition.
"So things have really turned round now for the King family after their separation from Ashya. They've got what they wanted."
Ashya's parents were arrested for removing him from hospital Professor Jan Stary, head of children's oncology at Motol University Hospital, told a news conference that Ashya's proton treatment will take place almost daily for the next month.
"It should be benefit for such a small child with such a kind of tumour," he said.
It is unclear who will pay for the treatment, which is expected to cost between £40,000 and £60,000.
Mr and Mrs King were arrested in Spain after they took Ashya from Southampton General Hospital on August 28 without medical permission.
They were released when prosecutors withdrew a European arrest warrant.
Portsmouth City Council, which has responsibility for Ashya's welfare, launched family court action against his parents.
Mr Justice Baker, at a hearing in the Family Division of the High Court on Friday, ruled Ashya could be taken to the Czech Republic.
