The mother was traveling on Turkish Airlines flight TK538 from Conakry (Guinea) to Ouagadougou at the time she was 28 weeks pregnant (Burkina Faso). She felt discomfort as soon as the jet took off. Every day there are more contractions. The crew members observed her and realized that she was about to give delivery. The flight attendant gave a rapid response and immediately assisted her in giving birth while in flight. Nafi Diaby, the mother, was assigned a row of seats, and the flight attendants made a special effort to make her as comfortable as they could. And for a safe delivery to occur for both mother and child, but on a plane at a very high altitude rather than at a hospital or on the ground.

One of the flight attendants who assisted Nafi in giving delivery, Bouthayna Inanr, said: “The woman gave birth while standing, and we had assistance from some other passengers. Thankfully, mother and kid are in good health and are excited to welcome this little angel who showed up out of the blue.
Bouthayna Inanir, a flight attendant, continued, “The woman was outstanding. The infant then sat down on the chair. The hardest thing is this. I must hold the infant. She was my gift to my mother. After the delivery went smoothly, the plane made a routine arrival in Ouagadougou, where the mother and child were transferred right away to be under the care of medical professionals. So far, both are said to be in good health.
