Passengers on a recent international flight were left shocked as witnessed paramedics help a woman give birth while onboard the aircraft.
Just after boarding the flight earlier this month, an expectant mother found herself unexpectedly going into labor and gave birth, stunning the passengers on the aircraft.
According to the report, the incident happened during the final preparations for the take-off of a flight to Marseille in France.
Footage captures a paramedic briskly walking through the plane at Sabiha Gökçen International Airport in Istanbul, Turkey, cradling the newborn baby.
In the footage can be heard cheers of "Yay!" from applauding passengers on the Pegasus Airlines plane.
The paramedics marched onto the sky bus to assist a woman who had just welcomed her child moments before take-off at Sabiha Gökçen International Airport.
The footage was captured in high-octane and showed passengers on the flight craning their necks in amazement at the impromptu birth.
According to the report, the pregnant woman began experiencing intense labor pains just as the flight crew was completing the final preparations for takeoff.
Shortly afterward, a female paramedic is captured on camera carrying the baby, now wrapped in blue cloth. Notably, the baby does not appear to be making any noise.
The baby was immediately taken to the hospital via ambulance for further care.
It is supposed that mid-air births are exceptionally rare. However, this is not the first time a mid-air birth has been recorded.
Back in 2019, during a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a woman shocked fellow passengers when she gave birth to a baby on the flight.
Accroding to NBC Miami, the airline said in a statement: "JetBlue Flight 1954 was met on the ground by medical personnel following the onboard delivery of our youngest customer to date."
On a different flight, a woman gave birth while journeying from Ecuador to Spain. The baby, named Maximiliano, was given the name by one of the helpful passengers who aided in the safe delivery.
