A two-month-old baby has died on board an AirAsia flight from Kuala Lumpur to Perth.
The baby was involved in what the airline called a "medical emergency" on board flight D7236 arriving from the Malaysian capital early this morning.
An AirAsia spokesman confirmed the plane was met by a team of medical specialists and WA Police on its arrival at Perth International Airport.
Officers are investigating the incident and will prepare a report for the Coroner.
A WA Police media spokesman said there was nothing to suggest there were any suspicious circumstances surrounding the baby's death.
AirAsia would not release any other details about the incident.
"We are unable to comment further on the infant's medical situation, however our thoughts are with the infant and family involved," an AirAsia spokesman said in a statement.
Officials could be seen leaving the plane this morning carrying large brown paper evidence bags.
An airport staff member was also seen carrying a pram off the aircraft.
The same plane was set to depart at 6:50am as AirAsia flight D7237 from Perth back to Kuala Lumpur, but was delayed by several hours as a result of the emergency.
The AirAsia spokesperson apologised for any inconvenience caused by the delay and said the airline would help travellers to re-book.
