After the flight landed in Bangalore, the mother and the girl child were given a great welcome at the airport.
A mid-flight baby is incredibly rare, but not unheard of. Back in 2017, Jet Airways gave free flight tickets for life to a boy born on one of its flights between Saudi Arabia and India. The flight, which was bound for Kochi from Saudi Arabia was diverted to Mumbai, where the mother and baby were taken to a hospital.
In a similar move, budget carrier AirAsia, in 2009, did the same for a Malaysian mother and her son. Cebu Pacific, a Filipino airline gifted one million air miles to the baby girl born on the Dubai to Manila flight.
