Turkish media says an evacuation flight from Afghanistan has landed within the UK with an additional passenger – after cabin crew delivered a child lady mid-air.
When the normal cry of “Is there a doctor on the flight?” went unanswered on Saturday, Turkish Airlines employees helped 26-year-old Afghan Soman Noori give start at 30,000 ft, Demiroren News Agency mentioned.
Soman and her husband had been evacuated from Kabul to Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the place they caught a flight to Birmingham. Shortly after the aircraft took off on Friday evening, Soman’s labour pains began and crew members stepped in to ship the couple’s third little one.

The flight landed in Kuwait as a precautionary measure and mom and child have been deemed wholesome sufficient to hold on to the UK.
The child lady was named Havva, which interprets as Eve in English
