We’ve learned a baby was born on a recent Air Canada flight bound for Toronto.

The news has been confirmed in a statement from the airline which says the flight took off from St. Lucia on March 6th when a passenger began experiencing a medical issue.

It goes on to say flight attendants on board supported the mother-to-be, who apparently went into premature labour. Two doctors on the plane assisted.

As the story goes, the flight was diverted to Bermuda to accommodate the delivery, but the baby was born before the plane touched down.

After arriving in Bermuda, medics transferred the mother and the baby to a local hospital in healthy condition.

According to Air Canada policy, pregnant passengers may travel on an Air Canada flight up to 36 weeks during a normal pregnancy.
