Flight Attendant Compassionately Feeds 117-Year-Old Passenger Who Wanted To Get Off Plane [Video]

A Lion Air Indonesia flight attendant was being praised for his kindness after videos of him feeding an elderly passenger during a flight went viral on social media.

A co-passenger took to Instagram on Monday to post a video of the flight attendant affectionately speaking to the elderly woman.

“My trip yesterday riding the Lion Air flight from Surabaya to Palangkaraya. I was amazed with this flight attendant’s dedication when attending to this 117-year-old lady. She refused to buckle up even when the flight had already taken off, and she kept on requesting to get off the plane. With compassion, he fed her food and drinks gently as if he was treating his own parents, which in the end led to the grandma willingly fastening her seatbelt. So cool!” the co-passenger wrote.

In the video, the flight attendant can be seen gently handling the situation and feeding the passenger while smiling throughout the process.

Another co-traveler took to Twitter to post a video of the same.

“Dear @LionAirID, you guys should give an award to this brother here. Dear Lion Air steward, whoever you are, you are a great example of a perfect flight attendant. Bless you brother and may this become a reward for you!” the passenger wrote.

The Twitter video has since gone viral with close to 45,000 views.

“The person who recorded the mother’s video is my friend. He told us yesterday that after the matter was settled, the viral steward right away went and called his mother through Whatsapp. Cried buckets saying that he missed her and his family,” a user commented on the video.
