A Saudi Arabian Airlines made a last minute turn-around as one of its passengers forgot her baby behind at the airport. After a panicked woman alerted the cabin crew that she forgot to bring her child on board, the flight for Kuala Lumpur, returned to its gate at the King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
A video clip, in which the pilot can be seen asking for permissions from the Air Traffic Control, is going viral on social media. He can be heard murmuring, “May God be with us. Can we come back or what?” To which one of the surprised controllers can be heard saying, “Ok, head back to the gate. This is totally a new one for us!”
It is unclear as to whether the plane was already in air or if the flight had not yet taken off.
