A heartwarming video has gone viral on social media showing the crew of an Air India Express flight giving a surprise to a woman passenger on her birthday. What makes the crew’s gesture even more laudable is that they were responding to the request of the passenger’s son, who wanted to surprise his mother on her birthday.
Crew’s birthday surprise for passenger
In the video, shared on Instagram by Afzal Khan (@mr.cabin_crew), who works as a crew member of the Tata Group-owned airline, the boy can be seen approaching him with the request.
“And we made someone’s day more special,” the caption of the video said.
“This boy comes up to me and says it’s his mom’s birthday and wants to give her a surprise. And we made the whole flight clap for his mom’s birthday,” the text on the video stated.
Video goes viral
In the video, Khan can be seen making a special announcement and wishing the woman a happy birthday from the flight’s captains and crew. One of the flight crew members is then seen handing the woman, Jitheesh Bijumon, a special birthday treat.
The video posted earlier this month has now gone viral and many on social media appreciated the Air India Express cabin crew for their actions.
“That’s so kind and thoughtful,” one person wrote.“Such a sweet gesture,” said another. “This boy’s love for his mother is wholesome,” a third user commented.
