A woman passenger went into labour and delivered a baby mid-air on an Emirates flight. The flight from Tokyo-Narita to Dubai International on January 19 touched down with an extra traveler on board.
The new arrival made their appearance on the 12-hour overnight Flight EK 319, which landed on schedule despite the medical emergency, the airline confirmed. The crew responded swiftly and calmly handled the situation.
Emirates told that the parent and infant “were in stable condition and, upon arrival in Dubai, were met by local medical staff. The health and safety of our crew and passengers is of paramount importance.”
