Stories of controversial exchanges involving passengers and airline staff on flight were recently in the news, but some stories show how things aren't all not all dark and gloomy everywhere as an adorable piece of information about what can happen on a flight has been reported thanks to Turkish Airlines.

The airlines welcomed an unexpected but heart warming guest on the flight from Conakry in Guinea to Istanbul, as a passenger who was 28 weeks pregnant went into labour soon after it took off. As Nafi Diaby was in pain, the cabin crew responded quickly and helped deliver the baby at a height of 42000 feet.
