There’s nothing new about a woman delivering a baby onboard flight, but we can bet you’d have never heard anyone pay tribute to the fellow passengers and cabin crew for helping the way this Myanmarese woman did.

She was on a Singaporean budget flight flying to Yangon when she suddenly started experiencing labour cramps. The plane was commencing its landing and the plan was to move the pregnant woman to the hospital.

However, the baby decided he just could not delay his own arrival any longer. With the help of the crew and three doctors who were also on the flight last Friday, the baby was delivered safely onboard 3K583.

According to a Jet Star spokesperson, other passengers cheered when the boy, who weighed six pounds, seven ounces, was born. The mother was so relieved and delighted with the care she was given, that she promptly named her son after the airline – Baby Saw Jet Star.

The airline shared news of its youngest ever passenger on Facebook this week, writing, "We're most pleased to announce that a baby boy, named Saw Jet Star, was delivered safely onboard 3K583 by a team of doctors and the crew after the flight landed in Yangon on Friday, 22 April 2016."

The mom and baby were both doing well and had been discharged from hospital. The airline has also delivered 1,000 SGD (500 pounds) worth of baby supplies to the family.

This sweet story reinstilled our faith in humanity and the fact that the world is still a beautiful place to live in.
