A premature but successful birth occurred aboard Hi Fly flight UU979 (Airbus A330-200 registered CS-TCE) travelling from Dzaoudzi, Mayotte, to Nairobi, Kenya, earlier this week.
The airline reported a “miraculous moment in the air” on Instagram, crediting the quick response of 3 doctors, one of them an obstetrician, and crew for ensuring the safety of both mother and child during the tense situation.
While air travel often restricts late-stage pregnant passengers due to risks of in-flight births, the woman delivered her baby safely before the plane landed. Both mother and baby were reported to be in good condition following hospital examinations in Kenya.
