Tuesday, March 12, 2019

A mother reportedly left her baby at the airport and the Kuala Lumpur-bound Saudia flight SV832 plying from Jeddah had to return.

A passenger told the crew that a lady had forgotten her baby in the boarding area of the terminal and the pilot was requested to turn back.

The pilot said over the radio that may God be with them, can they come back?
While the ATC operative was heard saying that flight requested to come back as the passenger forgot the baby in the waiting area.

Further the pilot was made to repeat the request to which he said that since a passenger left her baby in the terminal she went on refusing to continue the flight. To this the ATC replies that this was totally new to them and they should head back to the gate.

So far there was no information on how the mother could forget her child could be found.
A video went viral on Youtube and had more than 50,000 views which the pilot was relaying the story to the air traffic control.

Although this is not the first controversial air travel-related parenting decisions, earlier in 2017 a photo of the woman captioned as ‘idiot’ went viral who had left her baby on the airport floor.

But the mother quickly defended herself stating that due to a technical glitch with Delta she was left stranded in Colorado airport along with her two-month-old daughter for more than 20 hours.

The mother Molley Lensing said that her daughter was held or was in the carrier for many hours. She was tired and needed to stretch and she wanted to communicate with her family members.
