A baby boy was born mid-flight on an Air India Express plane bound for Mumbai from Muscat, with cabin crew and a nurse, who happened to be one of the passengers-assisting in the emergency delivery.
As soon as the Thai national went into labour, the crew sprang into action, applying their intensive emergency training to create a safe and supportive environment for the birth.
The pilots notified Air Traffic Control and requested an emergency landing at Mumbai airport, where medical personnel and an ambulance were on standby to receive the mother and newborn.
A female airline staff member also accompanied the woman to the hospital to provide continued care and support.
Air India Express says it is in contact with the Consulate General of Thailand in Mumbai to help the woman's return to her country.
