A new mom is recovering after giving birth on an Air Canada flight to Tokyo.
In a turn of events the father of the baby has deemed “completely unexpected”, the 23-year-old woman was on board an Air Canada flight when she went into labour.
One of her fellow passengers happened to be a doctor who volunteered his services when the crew asked for assistance.
The young woman gave birth to her baby girl above the Pacific Ocean, before the plane was given priority landing at Narita Airport just outside the city.
The plane landed 30 minutes earlier than scheduled at Narita Airport
Speaking on Japanese television, the newborn’s father said: “I couldn’t imagine. This happened completely unexpectedly.”
“It turned out to be a beautiful baby girl.”
The infant and her mother were taken to hospital after disembarking the plane but an Air Canada spokeman has confirmed they are both doing well.
