Woman Gives Birth Mid-Air: A woman, onboard a flight heading to Jaipur from Bengaluru, gave birth to a baby girl. According to reports, the mother and the baby who was born, on Tuesday, on flight 6E 469 are stable now.
In a statement released by the domestic airline company, they confirmed that the cabin crew also attended to the woman passenger in the flight.
“Jaipur airport was immediately informed to arrange for a doctor and an ambulance on arrival. Both the baby and mother are stable,” Indigo said in a statement.
The cabin crew onboard and Dr Subahana Nazir, together assisted the would-be mother in delivering a baby girl.
"Dr Nazir, who helped deliver the baby, was welcomed into the arrival hall and a Thank You card was handed over by our Jaipur staff. Great teamwork by all our staff concerned," the aviation firm added.
