Antonino, a Baby Born on an Iberia flight

Antonino

It was 03:30 in the morning, aboard flight IB3721 Malabo-Madrid, when little Antonino decided it was time to be born, a little more than two hours after take-off in the capital of Equatorial Guinea.

Fate decreed that a midwife, a paediatrician, and a family doctor were also aboard. Supported by the Iberia crew, they delivered the baby without a hitch.

Antonino is now seven years old, and happy and lively, just like his godmother Inma, a flight attendant who helped him into the world on 3 June 2011.
