Celebrations broke out among the crew inside an Air India Express aircraft that brought Indians from abroad amid the coronavirus lockdown before it left Abu Dhabi for Kerala’s Kochi. In light blue coveralls, masks and protective plastic shields on their faces, a group of the state-run carrier’s crew is seen raising their hands and shouting “hip, hip, hurray” in a mobile video taken inside one of the two special planes that later landed in Kerala late on Thursday.
“Really proud to have this flight over here,” the captain of the flight in mask said.
“Hi, I am Deepak, cabin in-charge today. Proud to be part of this flight today,” said another crew member as behind him passengers started walking to their seats.
The two special flights brought 363 Indians from Abu Dhabi and Dubai as part of India’s massive operation to bring back some of the hundreds of thousands of citizens stuck abroad due to coronavirus restrictions.
“Once again, thank you for choosing Air India Express, Jai Hind,” a crew member says in another mobile video. The rest of the crew, all in protective clothing, raise their hands and follows him with shouts of “Jai Hind”.
