A spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says a nurse and doctor on the flight helped deliver the baby.
Spokesman Joe Pentangelo says the baby weighed 6 pounds, 5 ounces.
The birth happened over the Atlantic aboard Royal Jordanian Flight J261 at around 5 p.m. Tuesday.
Pentangelo says the mother and baby were taken to a hospital after the aircraft landed at John F. Kennedy Airport around 7:30 p.m. He says they appeared in good health.
He says the woman is a citizen of Jordan and was traveling alone.
Air Jordan ?!?
Why was a full term pregnant woman allowed to board and fly an international flight ??
If you’re born on an airplane, do you get free flights for life?
A devious plan to make a future Isis fighter American
Mazel tov!! She should have much nachas from her daughter and may baby grow up to not be a terrorist.
Will she be an american citizen? Or jordanian?
If it were on a plane from a nation other than the bith mother’s own, what would the citizenship status of the baby be? Are they going to name her Boeing?
The mother was very fortunate that there was a doctor and a nurse on the plane. I think the baby is Jordanian;)
Nah, they’re going to name her after Hussein’s wife. Michelle, how cute!
