Nobody Delivered On Board Our Flight- Arik

Arik Air has debunked claims by a section of the media
(notThe Punch) that a woman gave birth on board its
flight from Lagos.
A statement by Arik on Monday explained that contrary
to claims that the pregnant woman gave birth aboard the
flight on Sunday, the woman only suffered a
miscarriage.
The statement signed by Arik’s Public Relations and
Communications Manager, Mr. Adebanji Ola, also stated
that the woman in question was 12 weeks pregnant.
The statement said, “The Arik Air flight W3 101 which
departed Lagos for London Heathrow on Sunday,
diverted to Palma Mallorca Airport, Spain at 5:44pm due
to urgent medical attention for a 12-week pregnant
woman on board.
“The passenger reportedly developed severe pain during
the course of the flight. The pain was later coupled with
bleeding with a suspected miscarriage.
“The passenger, who was initially attended to by two
medical doctors on board the flight, was 12 weeks
pregnant. She was later transferred to a hospital in
Mallorca for further medical attention. This is contrary to
a report in some papers to the effect that a woman gave
birth on board Arik flight to London.”
The statement added that the flight later departed
Mallorca at 8pm for London Heathrow.
The statement explained that the pregnant woman did
not indicate her pregnancy status to the airline’s
Passenger Service Agents at check-in and because her
pregnancy was 12 weeks, the team didn’t notice her
status.
