“We didn’t really know that the woman was giving birth,” Rajput said.

At 30,000 feet, the China Airlines pilot asked if there was a doctor on board, but staff remained calm, Rajput said.

It "wasn’t like ooh! We need a doctor," she said. "She wasn’t even screaming or anything."

The Taiwanese woman was in labor for about two hours, Rajput said.
