A special family moment when daughter flew air-hostess mother on her final day at work

New Delhi, Sept 25: This is not a latest story but yet a feel-good story is ageless and we thought to share it. It is about an Air India pilot who flew her air hostess mother on her final day at work. The moment was a special one for this family as well as for the Indian airliner for the human emotions attached to it.

Air India pilot Ashrrita posted a photo on Twitter of her mother and the crew members of an Air India flight with the caption: "So happy and honoured to be able to pilot the one flight that mattered. It was my mom's dream to have me pilot her last flight as an Air Hostess with @airindiain :) As she retires after her glorious 38 years of service, I will be carrying on with her legacy #grateful #proud"
