The delivery was successfully assisted by the airline’s trained cabin crew, with timely support from a nurse who happened to be among the passengers. According to the airline, the crew’s professionalism and preparedness, along with swift coordination with ground support, ensured a safe delivery and immediate medical attention for both the mother and newborn, as per the statement released by Air India Express.
