Plane Had To Turn Back After Takeoff Because Mother Forgot Her Baby At The Airport

A plane was turned around in Saudi Arabia after a mother informed the airline crew that she forgot her infant baby in the boarding area at the terminal of King Abdul Aziz International Airport.
According to Gulf News, the flight was en route to Kuala Lampur from Jeddah in Saudi Arabia but turned back after being notified by the mother. The plane decided to turn around and land at the airport so the woman could retrieve her child. A video online has gone viral of the pilot requesting to return to the airport because of the bizarre incident. You can hear the operators surprised by the request and trying to figure out what to do in the situation.

“May God be with us. Can we come back or what?” the pilot can be heard saying on the video. The operator is heard asking a colleague to confirm the correct protocol by saying, “This flight is requesting to come back…a passenger forgot her baby in the waiting area, the poor thing.” They ask the pilot one more time about his reasoning for wanting to return to the airport saying, “We told you, a passenger left her baby in the terminal and refuses to continue the flight.”
