BRUSSELS—When passenger Ndeye began having labor contractions in midair, a Brussels Airlines (SN) flight from Dakar (DSS) to Brussels (BRU) was converted into an impromptu delivery room.
According to ViewfromtheWing, flight attendant Jennifer Joie organized an emergency response and summoned medical personnel from among the passengers.

A 22-year-old nurse named Lore and an onboard doctor responded to the call, establishing a makeshift medical team in the aircraft’s galley. The medical team monitored contractions and guided Ndeye through breathing exercises as her labor progressed aboard the Airbus A330.
