Single mum Maria Pettersson has taken to flying her daughter from the to Sweden to get her to childcare, dropping her off with her mum who lives in Gothenburg. Maria, 38, says the sound and vibrations of the jet engine help get two-year-old Alice off to sleep.
Maria, who is a pilot, said: "Alice has probably been on more planes than most people have in their entire lifetime and luckily for me the jet engine sends her to sleep. It can be a struggle balancing motherhood around my job but I am lucky in the fact I have lots of childcare options.
"My mum has just retired so I fly Alice over to her house which is in Gothenburg, Sweden which is where I'm from - the longest commute to child care ever.
