Turkish Airlines Cabin Crew Help Deliver Baby Girl Aboard A Flight At 42,000 Feet

The cabin crew of Turkish Airlines have been praised after helping deliver a baby girl aboard a flight at 42,000 feet.

Mum Nafi Diaby was�28 weeks pregnant when she boarded the flight from Guinea’s capital, Conakry to Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso when just a short time after takeoff, she started having contractions�and was about to give birth.

With the help of other passengers, the cabin crew, who were trained to help passengers in need, went above and beyond their duties as they helped deliver Nafi’s baby, who was named Kadiju, while aboard the flight.

Flight attendant Bouthayna Inanir told the Hurriyet Daily News the amazing moment she held the baby.�”The lady was in great pain. And then the baby was on the seat. This was the hardest part. I had to grab the baby. I took her and give her to the mother,” she said.

Turkish Airlines took to Twitter to announce the incredible birth and posted a tribute to the little bub and thanked the cabin crew for all their work.�”Welcome on board Princess! Applause goes to our cabin crew!,” the post read.

Once the plane landed Nafi and Kadiju were taken to a hospital and it’s said they’re both doing well.
