Flight crew on a PIA plane helped to deliver a baby girl.
The new mother was flying back to Multan from Medina after performing Umrah when her water broke aboard the flight.
The crew assisted the woman immediately and shortly afterwards tweeted the episode along with a picture of the new arrival.
"Miracles happen everyday and we had our little miracle today onboard our flight PK 716 from Madinah to Multan.
"A beautiful baby girl was born! We congratulate the proud parents on the new arrival and a big kudos to our cabin crew for their amazing emergency response"
