Baby born on an 11-hour United Airlines flight to Washington D.C.

A baby was born on a United flight from Accra, Ghana, to Washington DC's Dulles International Airport on Sunday, according to United Airlines. The flight departed on Saturday and was 11 hours long, reaching the airport at 5:41 a.m. with one new passenger. A member of the flight attendant crew was a former nurse and assisted with the birth, United said. When the mother began giving birth, the crew acted quickly and assisted medical professionals on board to ensure everyone was safe on the flight. "We were especially thrilled to see the plane land with one extra, especially beautiful, customer onboard," United Airlines said. After the flight, the mother was presented with a blue United balloon and card saying, "On behalf of the United team at Washington Dulles, Congratulations on your new baby!"<br/>
