Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi-Jakarta flight diverted to Mumbai as Indonesian woman gives birth onboard

MUMBAI: An Etihad Airways flight travelling from Abu Dhabi to Jakarta was diverted to Mumbai on Wednesday morning after a woman passenger gave birth onboard.

An Indonesian woman delivered a baby onboard the flight from Abu Dhabi to Jakarta on Wednesday morning, an Etihad Airways official said.

The woman was rushed to hospital as soon as Flight EY 474 touched down at the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai, according to ANI.

The woman was rushed to the Seven Hills Hospital in Andheri east where she is recuperating with her newborn baby.

The flight, which was scheduled to arrive in Jakarta at 3.05 PM, was delayed by at least two hours due to the medical emergency, the officials said.

In September, a Jakarta-bound Etihad plane was forced to return to Abu Dhabi minutes after take-off due to a reported engine problem mid-air.

The airline landed safely and all the passengers were safe. 

Last year, a woman gave birth onboard Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) Multan-bound flight from Saudi Arabia. 

The entire crew of the airline came forward and helped the woman to deliver.
