On 18 June, a KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Boeing 777-200 (registered PH-BQI) operated flight KL588 between Lagos, Nigeria and Amsterdam Schiphol, The Netherlands. While flying over the Mediterranean Sea, the pilots diverted to the airport of Barcelona in Spain. <\/b><\/p>\n

One of the passengers started labour, and delivered her baby in one of the galleys of the aircraft, much to the delight of passengers and crew.<\/p>\n

Spanish air traffic control guided the aircraft down towards runway 02 of Barcelona Airport where the aircraft safely landed. \u201cBoth mother and baby are doing well<\/em>,\u201d air traffic control tweeted, and wished them a speedy recovery.<\/p>\n

A few hours later, the aircraft departed for Amsterdam, where it landed with a delay of two hours and twenty minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWonderful handling of both the emergency landing in Barcelona plus the baby delivery by KLM crew + medical staff at El Prat airport! Both mother and newborn are safe! We went on to AMS and now heading back home in Madrid<\/em>,\u201d passenger and Pablo Ruiz-M\u00fazquiz wrote on his social media channel.<\/p>\n
