A 20-year-old Saudi woman delivered a baby in the washroom at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (CSIA) on Tuesday afternoon.
Passenger Hayas Alhagbani along with three women and one male family members arrived from Hyderabad enroute to Riyadh on Air India flight AI921 at 12.45 pm. The flight was delayed and the takeoff was postponed to 5.45pm, when Alhagbani went into labour, said officials from Mumbai International Airport Pvt Ltd (MIAL).
Housekeeping staff member Sweta Satpal immediately alerted MIAL doctors when the baby was partially out even as the passenger was on the commode.

Doctors rushed to the washroom and helped the passenger to move away so that the baby could be delivered safely. A baby boy was delivered at 1.56pm in the washroom located in front of boarding gate 78.
The passenger was offloaded for medical reasons and was taken in an ambulance to Seven Hills hospital in Andheri around 2.41pm.
“Both the mother and the baby are fine,” said an official from MIAL.
