BRUSSELS (AFP) - A baby girl was born over the Sahara desert during the night aboard a Brussels Airlines flight from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Belgium, the company said in a statement Friday.
Baby Daniella -- named after the co-pilot for the Kinshasa-Brussels flight -- "is doing fine thanks to the help of two doctors who happened to be aboard as well as the crew," the statement said.
A 31-year-old Congolese woman, who was not identified, gave birth to the child at around 0200 GMT as the Airbus A330-300 was flying over the Sahara.
"Given the absence of any nearby airport, the birth took place aboard," the company said.
Mother and child were taken to hospital on arrival in Brussels.
"Flight SN352, therefore, had 233 passengers aboard on departure and 234 on arrival," the statement ended.

Haha don't these lucky people get free airplane rides for the rest of their lives or something? I remember saying something recently about how if I was an expectant mother I would loiter around Gucci or something then rush in when I'm about to give birth, and I will get free Gucci bags for life!
Gucci Wong.
Salvatore Ferragamo Wong.
Louis Vuitton-Wong. LV Wong! Haha.
Tell me that I'm so superficial materialistic blah blah but you have to make sacrifices for the happiness of your child-to-be right?
Then I would purposely give birth to quintiplets like on the hallowed polished marble floors of Gucci. Whoohoo my five kids will have a lifetime supply of Gucci-ware!
Enough of my fake musings, I'm actually secretly bored at home and reading all these breaking news on Yahoo! so SURPRISE ME BY ASKING ME TO GO SOMEWHERE PLZZZZ! (yes I'm so desperate I'm resolving to lian language. Touched?)
Anyway on thursday me jacq aud and sze went out for fun and we ended up killing our poor feet walking into some really out-of-the-way place Mandarin something for audrey's tights!
And on friday we finally had a 4+4 gathering with all eight of us! I haven't seen/talked to the NJ people in such a long time, it was a very pleasant day (: (Even you, tricia, although I'd hate to admit it. Haha)
