- He called the flight a dream come true in his Instagram post caption
Air travel is usually about getting from one place to another. People board flights for work, holidays, family visits or quick getaways. Most journeys blur into routine. The same security lines, the same boarding calls, the same seats. But every now and then, a flight becomes special for a deeply personal reason. Not because of the destination or the aircraft, but because of the people on board and what the moment represents.
One such moment recently caught the attention of social media users. An IndiGo pilot turned an ordinary flight into a meaningful milestone by welcoming his parents on board for the first time while he was in the cockpit. The pilot, identified as Aviral Prakhar, shared the moment on Instagram.
The clip shows Prakhar inside the aircraft as his mother and father step in. Instead of offering a formal greeting, he bends down to touch their feet. The simple gesture conveys an emotion that words rarely capture. Text overlaid on the video reads, "POV: Flying my mom dad for the first time as a pilot."
