Cabin crew on a Turkish Airlines plane have helped deliver a baby girl mid-flight.
Nafi Diaby gave birth at 12,800 metres (42,000ft), while flying from Guinea’s capital Conakry to Ouagadougou in Burkina Faso.
The pair were taken to the hospital immediately after landing in the capital and both mother and baby are doing well.
Turkish Airlines said the cabin crew noticed the passenger, who was 28 weeks pregnant, was suffering labour pains.

Yup, that is NOT a 28 week baby, which might struggle to breathe on cabin air. Methinks someone was deliberately breaking the airline rules on when you are no longer permitted to fly.
Air-borne. Take that passports!
