“It was my mom’s dream to have me pilot her last flight as an Air Hostess with Air India,” she wrote, sharing an image of her mom smiling while surrounded by the flight crew.

“As she retires after her glorious 38 years of service, I will be carrying on her legacy.”

That must quite an emotional moment. A selfie of both if you in the flight deck will be in order – a Kodak moment. I am sure DGCA will approve.

“I am both happy and overwhelmed. Happy because people can relate to the emotion, and overwhelmed because people are celebrating the goodness,” Ashrrita told the BBC.

“She plans to travel for a couple of months, after which she will decide what she wants to do,” she added.

Ashrrita then posted a video of the passengers applauding her mom as she walked through the plane.

For all of you who asked 🙂 that’s mom on her last flight as an operating cabin crew for @airindiain what a lovely day and what amazing passengers! So many best wishes and hugs ♥️ of course I was in the flight deck 🙂 #proud #grateful pic.twitter.com/eUL3Og4EBr

According to a representative of Air India, the special moment was not planned and was just a coincidence that Ashrrita was flying the aircraft during her mother’s farewell flight.
