Pilot makes announcement in Punjabi-English mix; internet loves it

Flight announcements can often be a bit boring. But one IndiGo flight gave a twist to the process.

A video is doing the rounds on social media shows captain giving tips to the passengers in mix of Punjabi and English on an IndiGo flight travelling to Chandigarh from Bangalore.

The passengers were highly impressed by the pilot, and showed their appreciation by clapping at the end of his announcement.

The video was shared with the caption, “Some tips by the Captain in a Punjabi English mix to passengers on flight Bangalore to Chandigarh.” It has more than 37,600 views and 1,251 likes till now.

The captain first talked in English and then went on to throw some Punjabi into the mix. He asked the passengers to follow COVID protocols, and keep wearing their masks. He also advised people not to hurry up to get their luggage out. The captain stated that their luggage is totally safe, and they should remain seated until the door opens.

He also joked that people seated in the aisle will only be able to turn left and right to look at each other, so the lesson is that they should take a window seat. He also gave a special shout-out to the soldiers and veterans on board.

People highly appreciated the innovative announcement in the comments section.
