Instead of a stork - an airplane!

On January 10, 2024, the flight from Zhukovsky to Dushanbe became special for Ural Airlines - a girl was born on board.

Those born on earth know the addresses of their maternity hospitals, can visit them or see photographs from discharge. And what remains for those who were born at an altitude of 10,000 meters?

The airline came up with the idea of presenting newborns with a birth certificate in the sky, which could become a good tradition. The unique document indicates the date, time, altitude, board number, row of seats, and also the coordinates that were projected onto the ground so that the “born in the air” could visit the place of his birth.

A month later, an excellent opportunity arose to hand over the certificate in person - Elena Malysheva invited Ural Airlines flight attendant Nadezhda Ivakina, who helped deliver the child, as well as a young mother, a newborn girl, her sister and grandmother to participate in the “Live Healthy!” program. on Channel One.

On the program, Nadezhda told how flight attendants are trained to deliver babies, how to psychologically cope with such situations, what is in the on-board maternity kit, and also answered questions from the program presenters. It is always worth remembering that giving birth on an airplane is risky; in the last stages of pregnancy it is better to refrain from flying.
