The child will be the nationality of the parents.
When the plane lands, the parents will need to go to their consulate or embassy in the host country and get a passport for the baby.
On a side note, at least two babies have been born on commercial flights.
According to snopes:
On 6 September 1995, Dararasami Thongcharoen surprised everyone by being born two months ahead of schedule on Thai Airway's flight 641. Dararasami (named for the Boeing 747 her mother was flying on when she gave birth — her name means 'Starlight' in English) is now considered a "daughter of Thai Airways." Airline president Thamnoon Wanglee announced that in addition to the special flying privileges, the girl would also receive an educational scholarship from the airline.
Mohd Aliff Mohd Fuad came into the world on an Asia Pacific Airlines flight on 23 May 1996. In recognition of his being the first baby born on that carrier (Asia Pacific began operations on 10 May 1996) and "first" events being viewed as especially lucky in that culture, the company has chosen to celebrate this fortuitous event by sponsoring the lad's education and providing him with free travel for life.

The legal ruling would be whatever the country the plane lands in would be the child's official nationality... however, if the parents are a citizen of another nation (as the case will most likely be), the child would have dual-citizenship until they're 18 (when they're forced to choose a country).

The same as the parents, but could possibly get the dual nationality from the country which owns the aeroplane. This situation however, would rarely happen. Airlines will not normally accept a woman passenger who is 7months or more pregnant.

The nationality of his parents - and the country in which the birth is registered. Most airlines do not let you fly after 6 or 7 months into the pregnancy because of the damage that can be caused to the unborn baby.

The child will be of it's parents nationality otherwise a baby born on holiday would have to have its own passport to return to its parents home country and then would have to apply for citizenship.

The nationality of its parents.
Not all countries allow a child born in their boundaries to become an automatic citizen. Citizenship is usually a matter of the parents' citizenship, rather than where the child was actually born.

Children always inherit their parents' nationality. If born ON FOREIGN SOIL they may have dual nationality.
If born in mid-flight it would depend upon the laws of the country whose airspace the plane was in.
