A woman gave birth at Miami International Airport on Tuesday night, assisted by personnel from multiple agencies, according to Miami-Dade Fire Rescue. Emergency responders arrived at the airport’s departures area shortly after 5 p.m. after reports of a woman in need of medical help, based on radio traffic from emergency dispatch.
Helen Avendano, a spokesperson for Fire Rescue, said that when paramedics arrived, officers from the Miami-Dade Police Department, agents from U.S. Customs and Border Protection, and staff from the Miami-Dade Airport Division were already assisting the woman, who had just delivered the baby. Paramedics then transported both the mother and child to a nearby hospital. Avendano declined to provide further details, citing patient privacy laws.
This is not the first time a baby has been born at the airport. In 2021, a woman gave birth in an airport bathroom and named her daughter “Mia” in tribute to the location of her birth.
