A PASSENGER ON a Royal Air Maroc flight from Casablanca, Morocco, to Bologna, Italy, gave birth to a boy mid-air.
The official Moroccan news agency MAP says that the 39-year-old woman went into labour shortly after take-off on Sunday.
The flight was diverted to Barcelona, and the baby was born just before landing.
The airline didn’t specify the passenger’s nationality. It said crew members and a midwife, who happened to be on the plane, helped with the delivery.
Mother and child were taken to Sant Joan de Deu hospital in Barcelona and are in good health, the airline says. The flight continued on to Bologna around 50 minutes after landing in Barcelona.

If you are being threatened in the workplace or any other place, report them to gardai, if you get the lack of evidence reply, write up a civil proceedings charge.
Predator behaviour needs to be held accountable.
Their past history catches up, remember that warning
@Dean: The WRC won’t use voice recordings but yet will listen to them, tell the bullies that they were caught on the recordings and tell the victim how awful your experience was even in writing but yet they won’t use them. While the Gardaí would, I think. What use is the WRC when getting the Gardaí would mean less hassle in most cases?
@Dean: I suppose the best way is to report them to the Gardaí first and if there is a case then sue them in the case with emotional distress?
Improvements needed in paperwork in WRC – lost submissions and correspondence and incorrect recording and huge delays in judgements. Also system of applying for adjournments deeply flawed and one sided. Awards when they are made are reducing so for the few who manage to take a case and win, it is not worth it much of the time. Lots of legislation to protect workers but no legal aid to assist and as costs are not awarded in statutory employment cases have to pay your own costs even if you win. Makes taking a case impossible for most. Much of the trade union assistance is not up to standard.
Good.
Everyone should feel respected and secure in the workplace.
