A flight was forced to turn around after a mother left her baby in an airport terminal.
The passenger realised she had left the child in the boarding area at the terminal of the King Abdul Aziz International Airport after it had departed.
A recording of the air traffic controller’s surprised reaction to the incident has been widely shared online.
According to Gulf News, the pilot said: “May God be with us. Can we come back or what?”
After taking the flight number, SV832, the operators asks another colleague what to do in the bizarre situation.
They said: “This flight is requesting to come back…a passenger forgot her baby in the waiting area, the poor thing.”
The pilot added: “We told you, a passenger left her baby in the terminal and refuses to continue the flight.”
“Ok, head back to the gate. This is totally a new one for us.”
