The Turkish airline crew successfully delivered a baby on board a flight from Conakry, Guinea. Nafi Diaby was 28 weeks pregnant at the time and started going into labor mid-air. The baby was born safely and immediately taken to a hospital in Burkina Faso upon landing.
The baby was named Kadiju which means “premature child.” The airline shared photos following the success of the event to their Facebook page.
