A pilot from the airline Vietjet had an unusual emergency mission on a flight from Taipei to Bangkok, because he became a midwife. A passenger gave birth on board. On February 23, 2024, the professional pilot was on duty as captain of Vietjet flight VZ565. Suddenly, the flight attendants raised the alarm that a female passenger needed urgent help because she had gone into labor. The pilot decided to hand over control of the aircraft to the first officer. Before leaving the cockpit, a flight attendant entered the flight deck - as required - so that the four-eyes principle was observed. The captain wanted to get a picture of the situation himself in order to be able to better decide whether an early stopover was necessary or not. In any case, he didn't have a chance to think about it anymore, because the child was in a particularly big hurry. So the Vietjet captain became a midwife. He has no special medical training, just the general first aid training that every pilot has to do regularly as part of his job. According to his own statements, the captain is himself a father of a child and that is one of the reasons why he was particularly proud that he was not only able to act as a helper during the birth, but that the newborn was born safely on board the aircraft he was commanding. The man has been a professional pilot for 18 years and posted on social media platforms that he had just helped a newborn baby "into the plane". The boy was given the nickname "Sky" by his mother.
