A bizarre incident happened recently at Jeddah’s King Abdulaziz International Airport after a Saudi mother ‘forgot’ her newborn baby at the airport and boarded the Saudi Arabian Airlines flight.
According to reports, Flight SV832 from Jeddah to Kuala Lumpur was turned back after the woman informed the cabin crew that she had forgotten her baby at the waiting hall of the departure terminal of the Airport.
Her sudden realization forced the pilot to turn the plane around back to King Abdulaziz International Airport.
The ATC operators were taken by surprise after the pilot informed them about the incident. Executives spent several minutes trying to figure out the protocol to be observed during such incidents.
In a video making the rounds on social media, the pilot can be heard making the request, “This flight is requesting to come back…a passenger forgot her baby in the waiting area”
“Ok, head back to the gate. This is totally a new one for us!” says an ATC operator.
The woman was happy after being reunited with her baby.
