The woman suddenly went into labour aboard the Buraq Air flight from Tripoli to Niamey, the capital of Niger.

The crew had to help her deliver the baby right there and then. She was delivered of a bouncing nbaby boy and awed passengers took photos of them.

She named the baby boy Abdul Basset after the captain of the plane. Buraq favour replied to the gesture by announcing on their Facebook page that they wanted to give the baby boy a birthday present.

Baby Abdul has been a lifetime of free flights to any destination around the world with Buraq Air.
