Not all babies are born in hospitals...

Some choose to arrive in the most unexpected places. Like this one who wanted to open his eyes 35,000 feet above the ground, in the middle of a flight. 

What Happened In Air India Flight?

It was a regular Air India Express flight. Passengers were seated, the crew was doing their routine checks, and everything felt calm.

Then, suddenly a pregnant passenger, a Thai national, went into labour mid-air.

Imagine this happening 35,000 feet above with no doctors around. Just strangers around you and zero medical setup to handle something so complicated like this.

What did the Air-India Crew Do To Deliver Baby In The Flight

The crew didn’t panic. Instead they acted fast.  Another good thing here was, a nurse was also onboard. The crew, along with the nurse created a care team which helped deliver the baby right there on the plane. Not to forget, this would not have been possible without the support of fellow passengers.

Somewhere over the Arabian Sea, a healthy baby was born. And yes, their first cry echoed through the cabin.

Air India Express later shared a statement saying:

“This extraordinary moment not only highlighted the preparedness of the crew but also demonstrated the spirit of compassion and teamwork.”

What Happens To Babies Born On Flights?

This always sparks some fun questions:

• Does the baby get free flights for life? Sometimes yes, but not always. It depends on the airline.

• What about citizenship? That’s more complicated. It depends on where the plane was registered, where it was flying, and the nationality of the parents.

But these rules really don’t matter as long as the baby and mom are safe and healthy. The calmness and activeness shown by the crew members to handle such a situation needs a big applause. 

The plane safely landed in Mumbai where passengers stepped out with an unforgettable memory. Because not very often do you witness something like this on a flight journey.
