Baby born
Yesterday, while flying back from Sri Lanka to Europe, i heard that a Gulf Air just had a new pax on board. The mother delivered on board over the indian ocean. It was quite a funny situation since Mumbay HF could not understand what the crew was trying to say and on the other had they did not know how to tell it different than: We got a new baby, pax gave birth.
After lots of confusion and advice from my medical crew (air ambulance Learjet) they diverted.
Does anybody know more about this?
Thanx

Nigel, you can be very cruel sometimes 
mind you, every time poor old Willie Walsh hits R&N he gets blasted into "Nether nether land" so I expect this thread to go "Walkies" very soon

Ok then. If this is such an un-interesting thread.....
The name of the first person to die in a crash (after 1903) is well know, but who was the first person born on a plane?
Where? When? What was the plane?

South Africa has a well known DC3 called "Delaney" - named after the girl born on board 24/25 years ago on a charter. Both of them (the 3 and Delaney) have appeared together a few times since.

I seem to remember from somewhere that the new pax has the choice of dep. or arr. country as place of birth, and that the afterbirth needs to be retained as evidence of the birth. Not sure who it goes to - parhaps in thepost- flight envelope 
! (Probably customs/port health or somesuch).
I've no idea where I heard this, and it could all be complete bollocs.

The afterbirth is retained for examination to ensure that it is complete and none has been retained internally.

Are there any airlines on which if a baby is born on one of their flights, the individual (baby) gets free tickets on that flight for life?
I heard that once a very long time ago when I was young. Was probably someone pulling my string, but have not heard about this kind of thing since, and was wondering if infact there is an airline out there with such a policy.
That would be a nice thing to do and a nice "gift" from the airline to the baby.

If that's true, then I can see the pre-natal classes for 2005 going something like this: "where have you chosen to give birth to your baby? Maternity ward, your own bed or a birthing pool?" I suspect some may answer "BA 177 to New York".
