Mother Janay Flowers says she is indebted to a “rock star” nurse for saving her baby’s life on an airplane.
On Thursday, Flowers, a model from Tampa, Fla., was flying with her infant Nevaeh on American Airlines to San Antonio, Tex., where her husband, a member of the U.S. Air Force, will be stationed, reported The Dallas Morning News. Nevaeh, who had a slight fever, mostly slept on the three-hour flight. But 15 minutes before landing, the 11-month-old woke up crying.
A man on an easyJet flight was supposed to be on his way to Egypt, where he was set to celebrate his honeymoon with his bride. Instead, he has been handed seven months in jail after he drunkenly assaulted two flight attendants and went on a homophobic rant.
The court heard that he was escorted off the plane by police officers who he abused, calling one of them a ‘baldy c***’. His wife was heard shouting: ‘Look at what you’ve done. You have f****** off our honeymoon!’
Judge David Rennie said: ‘It was like a child having a tantrum. You chose to drink four pints and to behave in a foul-mouthed, highly abusive manner. Something of your true character did reveal itself.
‘We do have to ask why airports are selling that amount of alcohol outside of usual licensing hours.
‘An attack on the perceived sexuality of these men was utterly shameful. People like you find yourself on the edge of society.
‘Only an immediate custodial sentence can be justified.’

Skirmantas Strimaitis, who was flying from capital Vilnius to the northern Italian city of Bergamo for a skiing holiday March 16, had the whole plane — which can usually sit up to 188 people — to himself. The only others onboard were two pilots and five crew members.

A friend has left a touching tribute for a “beautiful” woman who died unexpectedly onboard a Qantas flight.
Aleisha Tracy, 34, was making the 16-hour journey from Los Angeles back home to Melbourne on Qantas flight QF 95 when she passed away mid-flight.
Ms Tracy, an NBN employee from the Melbourne suburb of Sunshine West, died despite the best efforts of two medics on board the flight who tried in vain to save her life.
“Our cabin crew were assisted by two doctors onboard. We are very grateful for their assistance,” a Qantas spokesperson said.
There are still some delays out of Orlando International Airport this afternoon.
Airport spokesperson Carolyn Fennell says that’s after flights across the country were canceled this morning.

“There were a number of airlines here at Orlando International that use the system. There were approximately 99 delays and it included Southwest, JetBlue, Frontier, Spirit.”
UPDATE: The issue has been resolved. Contact individual #airlines for information on specific delays. https://t.co/5irxFMwRu7

A pilot on the Ethiopian Airlines flight which crashed three weeks ago was heard saying “pitch up, pitch up” just moments before the disaster, the Wall St Journal has reported.
The conversation happened when the plane was just 450ft (137m) off the ground as the aircraft begun to point downwards, according to the paper.
The plane’s radio reportedly died moments after the comment was captured. All 157 people on board were killed when the Boeing 737 Max crashed.
Korean Air and Delta Air Lines apologized to a family after their son, who has a serious peanut allergy, were stranded with his little brother in a foreign country.
Rakesh and Prajakta Patel’s 15 and 16-year-old sons were traveling alone from Atlanta, Georgia, to Manila, Philippines (where their father is temporarily located for work) after visiting their elderly grandfather in the hospital.

As the Lion Air crew fought to control their diving Boeing 737 Max 8, they got help from an unexpected source: an off-duty pilot who happened to be riding in the cockpit.
That extra pilot, who was seated in the cockpit jumpseat, correctly diagnosed the problem and told the crew how to disable a malfunctioning flight-control system and save the plane, two people familiar with Indonesia’s investigation told Bloomberg.

A group of ladies from sacramento were kicked off their flight to Mexico for a bride’s bachelorette party. An employee for American Airlines said the bride’s mother appeared to be drunk.
Amber Granlund, a bridesmaid who spoke with Fox 40, said it was a misunderstanding, and that the bride’s mom was just nervous about traveling.
“She’s in her 50s, almost 60s,” Granlund said. “There could have been something else going on.”
Granlund said that the mother of bride had consumed one or two drinks before boarding but was definitely not intoxicated. “It wasn’t drunken behavior,” she said.
