A tiny miracle was born in the skies on Friday as an Emirates airline flight to Paris was forced to divert to Cyprus because a woman gave birth mid-flight.
The woman and her newborn child were taken off the flight and shifted to a nearby hospital to be evaluated.
"Emirates can confirm that a passenger travelling onboard Emirates flight EK075, gave birth en route from Dubai to Paris on May 12," an Emirates spokesperson said in a statement. "We have supported the passenger during this period and her health and safety has of course been paramount."
"As a result, the flight was diverted to Larnaca International Airport. The aircraft was refuelled and re-departed for Paris after a delay of approximately five hours," the spokesperson added. "The well-being and safety of our passengers and crew are of utmost importance to Emirates and will not be compromised."
On Twitter, local Cypriot airport authorities expressed amazement at the in-flight miracle.
