A flight which landed at Charlotte Douglas International Airport had an eventful conclusion with a new born baby making an unexpected early appearance on the jetway.
Nereida Araujo went into labor while seated on the plane just before landing and expected to deliver her third child at hospital.
However the baby girl wasn’t going to wait that long.
She gave birth on the jetway with a concerned crowd of staff and travelers watching on.
"Everybody was cheering for me and clapping. I thought I was going to make it to hospital, but it just happened so quick, she came so fast," Araujo said.
Araujo and her new born were then taken to hospital.
Araujo was only supposed to spend a short time at Charlotte Airport in transit before the Thanksgiving holiday.
Araujo says she plans to give her daughter an appropriate name – Lizyana Sky Taylor.
