On a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Boston, a Ugandan woman gave birth to a healthy baby girl. They were both fortunate that there were two doctors on board. As the child was born while in Canadian airspace, she automatically became a Canadian citizen.

I believe the child will be a Ugandan, like her Mother.

Interesting that this bit of piffle is mentioned nowhere in the linked article.
Repeat that 'right of birthplace' argument often enough and people will begin to believe it is true. Pfttt.
...tom... (trying to be nice...)

Or simply to make the flight more pleasant! I had to get a long flight once near a screaming baby which drove me nuts, I can't imagine what it would be like sitting next to someone giving birth! :p
And, the article doesn't say anything about it automatically becoming Canadian - that *does* sound like BS.
I can just imagine the experience of the other passengers - I would ask for a refund.
