A plane requested an emergency landing at the Barcelona-El Prat Airport this Monday morning when a passenger went into labor.

The ship was heading to Amsterdam (Netherlands) from Lagos (Nigeria) and landed in Barcelona around 5 o'clock, the Civil Guard reported in a statement on Wednesday.

The emergency services assisted the mother on the same plane and later transferred her along with the baby to the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital, where both are recovering “favourably”.
