Going Viral: Mid-air born baby gets million airline miles as birthday gift

Haven’s mother went into labour on Sunday — five weeks before her due date. Cabin crew immediately found two nurses who assisted with the delivery. The woman gave birth to a premature but healthy baby girl mid-flight. The plane’s crew had to make an impromptu landing at Hyderabad after the flight was diverted due to a medical emergency. The authorities at Philippine carrier Cebu Pacific said baby Haven, was the first to be delivered on one of its planes. Post the flight diversion, one passenger posted about the experience on Facebook. She didn’t seem to mind the delay. “It only happens in movies, and we’re lucky to witness this miracle,” passenger Missy Berberabe Umandal, who says she was seated close to the mother who went into labour, wrote in a Facebook post.  “We only heard one semi-loud screech, and a few seconds later there were tinier, cute screeches, and it was when we knew the baby was born.”
