Woman Welcomes Baby On-Board Forcing Plane to Make Emergency Landing

A pregnant woman has shocked many in a rather emotional way as she gave birth to a baby on-board, forcing the plane to declare an emergency landing over Northern Ireland.

According to Mirror, the passenger plane was travelling to New York from Saudi Arabia and was forced to make an emergency landing at the West London airport when a pregnant woman started going into labour, yesterday, June 15.

The flight tracking website Air Live reported at 10:47 BST that “a woman is giving birth” on board flight SV21.

It had travelled over northern England before flying over Northern Ireland. However, it turned around over Ireland and started travelling towards Wales.

Finally, the plane landed in Heathrow, with mum and baby said to be doing well.

A Saudi Arabian Airlines officer confirmed the mid-flight birth, saying that “a happy event forced the Jeddah-New York plane to land in London”.

Abdul Rahman Al Fahad said that the passenger was in her seventh month and had a report that allowed her to board the plane.

“Both the mother and the baby girl are doing fine,” Al Fahad said, quoted by Saudi daily Okaz on Thursday, June 16.
