The pregnant passenger, identified as Phromkasikorn Wassana from Thailand, went into labour while on a flight from Doha, Qatar, to Bangkok, according to the Hindustan Times. The sudden birth of the child prompted the plane’s pilot to make an emergency landing at the Kolkata airport. When the plane finally landed at 3.10am, medical staff found that the Thai woman had already given birth to the baby on the plane. Meanwhile, Qatar Airways, the airline of the woman’s flight, retweeted a report by Newsroom Post on the midair birth. The airport’s director noted that Wassana delivered the baby with the help of the aircraft’s female crew members.
