Giraldo took the expectant mother to the back lavatory and assisted in giving birth, according to company leaders. The plane detoured and landed at Pensacola Airport, where paramedics were waiting. 

"Diana again went above and beyond after the completion of the flight to coordinate our return to Orlando," Captain Chris Nye said in a post. "This was a job well done, and I was happy to see everyone working together to successfully deliver a newborn on an aircraft!"

The company said the mother opted to name the baby’s middle name "Sky."
