A child was born on board the Uzbekistan Airways plane

On April 26, flight HY273 on the Tashkent-Istanbul route ended with the birth of a child on board.
"The birth began on the approach to Istanbul. Passenger Sitora A. born in 1996 addressed the flight attendants with complaints of poor health. The foreman, having assessed the situation, asked the doctors on board to respond over the speakerphone. Some time later, a boy was born to a passenger at the 28th week of pregnancy. After a safe landing, the medical staff of Istanbul International Airport boarded. The mother and the newborn were transported to the clinic, their condition is assessed as stable.

On behalf of the airline's staff, we congratulate the parents on the birth of our little compatriot, express our gratitude to the crew and doctors who assisted in delivering the baby on board. In memory of this event, Uzbekistan Airways will present memorable gifts to passengers who provided all possible assistance during childbirth. Perhaps a baby born on World Pilot's Day will connect his life with the sky and aviation," the message says.
