A Frontier Airlines flight from Denver to Orlando landed with extra baggage after a passenger gave birth mid-flight.
The airline posted about the incident Tuesday on Facebook, praising flight attendant Diana Giraldo for assisting the mother in giving birth.
Giraldo helped the woman get to the lavatory at the back of the plane to deliver the baby while the plane was diverted to Pensacola.

“The whole crew really did a great job. I transferred controls and flying duties to my First Officer as I coordinated the diversion. Dispatch did a great job as well by suggesting Pensacola Airport and getting a gate and paramedics ready for us," Pilot Chris Nye said. "This was a job well done, and I was happy to see everyone working together to successfully deliver a newborn on an aircraft!"
The airline said the mother gave her newborn daughter the middle name Sky.
