ITA Airways : une Sénégalaise accouche en plein vol, une première pour la compagnie
On the night of Friday, May 2nd, according to Les Échos, ITA Airways flight AZ855, from Dakar to Rome, was the scene of an exceptional event. Approximately one hour after takeoff, a Senegalese passenger, seven months pregnant, experienced her first contractions. Thanks to the quick thinking of the crew and the timely assistance of a doctor and a nurse among the passengers, the birth took place successfully mid-flight.
The newborn boy and his mother are doing well. Upon landing at Rome Fiumicino Airport, a medical team was on hand to care for them. The Italian airline celebrated the event on its social media, stating that it was "the first child born on board an aircraft in the airline's entire history."
Although airlines generally advise against travel beyond the eighth month of pregnancy, the passenger here was in her seventh month; the delivery was therefore difficult to predict.
