Watch Video: Daddy’s Little Princess! IndiGo Pilot Introduces 18-Month-Old Daughter on Flight
Captain Walker’s heartwarming announcement about his daughter travelling with him for the first time has gone viral, winning hearts across the internet.
An IndiGo pilot created a touching in-flight moment when he introduced his 18-month-old daughter as a special passenger on board. The heartwarming video, shared by the pilot — known as Captain Walker on Instagram — has melted hearts online, capturing the joy of a father proudly sharing his “princess passenger” with fellow travellers.
Before takeoff, Captain Walker took to the intercom and said, “Ladies and gentlemen, a very good afternoon. I hope you all have settled down. I will take a minute of yours.” He then revealed that the flight was extraordinary for him as his wife and young daughter, Rubani, were travelling with him for the first time.
The video shows Rubani comfortably seated, curiously observing her surroundings. At one point, her mother holds her up as passengers clap and cheer in delight. Later, as travellers deboarded, the toddler sat in her father’s lap, waving goodbye. One passenger was even heard saying, “Best flight of my life.”
The clip quickly went viral, with social media users flooding it with emotional reactions. One viewer commented, “I don’t know how you guys feel as pilots flying your families, but I do know what your families feel — EXTREMELY PROUD.” Captain Walker replied, “Yes, it’s something that you can’t explain. It’s out of the world.”
Others hailed the moment as “the cutest thing on the internet today,” while one user praised the pilot’s wife for capturing the memory so beautifully, calling her the “invisible hero.”
Captain Walker’s Instagram is filled with glimpses of his daughter’s adventures, from donning a tiny pilot’s uniform to his thoughtful post about why little Rubani is kept away from screen time. But this in-flight announcement, celebrating his daughter’s first journey with him, stands out as one of the most memorable.
