Woman gives birth on plane at 36,000ft

Passengers on a flight in the US were stunned when a woman gave birth at 36,000 feet.

And rather aptly, the tiny 3lb 7oz baby has been named Skylen Kavon-Air Francis, in honour of being born in the clouds.

His airborne delivery also meant that his mum, Kendria Rhoden, 21, wasn’t sure what nationality her son would be – and immediately had to get him a passport so he’d be able to travel home.

Kendria Rhoden a health care worker, from Hartford, Connecticut, had been cleared by her doctors to fly at 32 weeks.

Her baby was not due until the end of October and so she decided to take the American Airlines flight to the Dominican Republic for her mum’s birthday with her sister, Kendalee Rhoden.
