Turkish airlines cabin crew helped a French-Guinean passenger give birth to a baby girl on board of flight from Guinea's capital Conakry to Istanbul on Friday (April 7), Turkish Airlines said. <br /> <br />The 28-week pregnant passenger, Nafi Diaby, went into labour shortly after take-off from Conacry. <br /> <br />A baby girl, named Kadiju was born at 42,000ft (12,800 m). The mother and the baby were taken to hospital after the plane made an emergency landing at Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. <br /> <br />Both mother and the baby are reported to be in good condition. <br /> <br />Turkish Airlines, like most other carriers, allow pregnant women to fly up to the 35th week of pregnancy, but signed doctor's report is required from 28 weeks onwards.
