A premature baby boy who was born on-board during a flight from Penang to Kuching in October 2009, has been named after the airline Air
Asia. Mid-flight expectant mother Liew Siaw Hsia give birth at
2,000 feet with the help of a doctor who was handily on-board and the plane was
diverted to Kuala Lumpur.
Air Asia later decided to
reward mom - who hadn't been due for another 11 weeks - and her baby by
offering them both free flights for life. The then 31-year-old mother has returned the favour by naming
her child after the airline. He is called Asia Liew Ya Hang - 'Ya Hang' means
AirAsia in Mandarin.
Still, it could have been worse… if they had taken a
different flight he could have been called Steve Virgin by now.
