Katy Perry Praises Air Canada Crew for Handling Mid-Air Medical Emergency
Pop star Katy Perry has publicly praised Air Canada’s cabin crew for their professionalism after witnessing them handle a medical emergency mid-flight. The incident occurred on a recent flight from Montreal to Los Angeles.
Perry, who is currently dating former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, took to social media on Saturday to share her experience. In a post on X, she wrote: “Last night I flew on an @AirCanada flight #AC779 from Montreal to LAX and I watched a medical emergency happen on the plane. I was so impressed with the level of attentiveness and quick action from the crew that I just want to highlight the level of professionalism and consideration they had for the passenger.”
She added that “the medical situation was resolved on the flight and everyone left OK,” and concluded with a shout-out: “Good for you @AirCanada!” The post quickly gained traction, amassing 1.9 million views.
Air Canada responded to Perry’s compliment on X, stating: “Thank you Katy, we will make sure to send your kind words to the team onboard. We are sure they will be more than happy to see this.”
Mixed Reactions on Social Media
While many users appreciated the positive recognition of airline staff, the post also drew some critical comments. One supporter wrote: “Air crew are always in the news for the wrong reasons. Glad to see that the air crew did amazingly well.” Another commented: “People underestimate how hard cabin crews work until moments like this. At 30,000 feet, there is no hospital down the road. Training, calmness, and speed matter fast. Respect to the crew for handling it professionally.”
However, some were skeptical. One user remarked: “Air Canada replying because it’s a celebrity. I bet they wouldn’t even acknowledge a complaint from a regular Joe schmoe.” Another questioned why Perry didn’t charter a private flight, asking: “You honestly expect us to believe you took a regular flight with the peasants?”
Perry’s relationship with Trudeau has been a topic of public interest, and this incident adds another layer to her recent media presence. The singer’s commendation highlights the often-unseen efforts of airline crew members in handling emergencies at high altitudes.
