According to the report, a doctor-obstetrician and a surgeon, who were among the passengers, responded to the call for help. After a brief period, the passenger successfully gave birth to a baby boy.
As a result of the incident, the flight made an emergency landing in Iceland.

Once the plane landed safely, medical personnel boarded to provide the necessary assistance to the mother. Both the mother and the baby were then taken to a local clinic for further care.

As the plane entered Turkish airspace, 27-year-old Kyrgyz citizen Sitora Abdumannopova began experiencing labor pains. The cabin crew and passengers assisted with the birth, and it was reported that the baby, born at 28 weeks, was a boy.
