PIA delivers for the first time - and it's a girl!

Who said PIA cannot deliver?

A woman went into labour on board PIA on Tuesday and the crew of Multan-bound flight PK 716 immediately came to her aid and assisted in the birth mid-flight.

That's right. Mid-flight, according to the airline's post on social media.

Images reached out to PIA's spokesperson Masood Tajwar regarding the delivery. "It was a premature delivery, to mother Kausar bibi and father Imran. They disembarked in Multan where they live in a nearby village," he revealed.

And as always, Twitter was quick to respond.

Congratulations were in order

Many commended the crew for their work

Come on, they deserve it

Some thought about the child

And some thought about the mother

Images has reached out to PIA for comment and is awaiting a response.
