Excitement fills the air, with one passenger seen collecting clothing items and heading towards the area where the birth took place.

The destination of the flight is not explicitly mentioned, but it is believed to have landed in Turkey, indicated by the Turkish language on the medics’ uniforms.
The occurrence of mid-air births is exceptionally rare, with statistics from medical support firm MedAire indicating a frequency of roughly one in every 26 million passengers.
Dr. Paulo Alves, the company’s global medical director, emphasizes the challenges of giving birth in-flight, including thinner air, making it harder for the baby to breathe.
