A baby girl who was born while airborne is very lucky as she has been given free flights for life.
The EgyptAir flight which was headed to London from Cairo had to do an emergency landing when Hiyam Nasr Naji Daaban realised she was going into labour.
According to The Independent, Nasr is a Yemen passenger and when she went into labour, the pilot diverted the service to Munich, Germany in hopes that she could reach the hospital in time.
Even will all the efforts the pilot made, the lady did not reach the hospital as she delivered a baby girl before the plane landed.
