On July 28, 1965 while aboard flight 408 between Frankfurt and New York, a mother entered labor and delivered a baby (what else would it be, right?), marking the first time in Lufthansa’s history that a baby would enter the world during an LH flight.
According to the archives, no doctors were aboard and the flight crew helped the Mother and Baby rest comfortably after the somewhat unexpected event. Doctors aboard another LH flight traveling from Munich to New York radioed over to assist the flight crew during the delivery.
According to Lufthansa, 10 babies have been born on board, with the last birth taking place on July 5, 2010 during a flight from Mumbai to Frankfurt.
