The newborn weighs in at only four pounds, 14 ounces, but her doctor says she is perfectly healthy and ready to head home to Egypt at any time.
Because she was born in Canadian airspace, baby Nadine will have Canadian citizenship.

Re: Baby born on BA Transatlantic flight
I wouldn't be suprised if an airline does extend some sort of sovereignty. Look at the way american airlines enforce america's ridiculous over 21 drinking. My friend was flying united and they refused to serve her because she was 20, any other airline she would have been fine.. I wonder if the same would apply to anyone attempting the mile high club.. if they were under 18...

It seems ridiculous to give citizenship this way.

Read something a while ago that "they" believe some doctors are refusing to identify themselves because of liability issues. Sad state of affairs if true!
