16 May 2019 International

An emergency landing was conducted after a Filipina woman delivered a baby girl while on board. The plane landed at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad. The delivery of the baby took place in the wee hours of May 8 and the mother and daughter were brought to the Apollo Cradle, Jubilee Hills with the umbilical cord still intact.

Reportedly, the woman works in Saudi Arabia and currently in her 35th week pregnancy, just three weeks away when she traveled back to the Philippines.

However, by the time she boarded the plane bound to Manila, she started to feel labor pains. Three doctors and two nurses from Apollo Cradle, Jubilee Hills went directly to the airport upon receiving a distress call around 2 in the wee hours of the morning. They reached to the airport before the aircraft even landed.

By the time they reached the aircraft, the woman is already in an advanced stage of labor, prompting them to perform the delivery inside the airplane, behind a row of seats.

As for the newborn baby, she is at the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) and weighs 3.2 kg at birth.

The hospital further confirms that the baby was provided with medical support and is now fit to travel.
