Baby born on plane bags free air tickets for life

A baby boy, born on Sunday 35,000ft above sea level on a Jet Airways plane from Saudi Arabia to India, received a free lifetime pass from the airline as his first birthday gift. Jet Airways flight 9W 569 took off from Dammam for Kochi at 2.55 am on Sunday and when an expectant mother travelling onboard went into premature labour the crew declared a medical emergency and diverted the flight to Mumbai. A female nurse travelling to Kerala volunteered to help deliver the child along with airline staff.
