The crew of the Finnair flight AY201, which was flying from Helsinki to New Delhi on January 17, broke out into dance moves reminiscent of an Indian blockbuster.
Around 24 of the airline's crew emerged in traditional Indian attire, then proceeded to dance in a highly choreographed fashion to Bollywood music.
Finnair employees said the dance was intended to commemorate India’s 63rd Republic Day.
According to the New York Times, Helena Kaartinen was the flight attendant who came up with the idea. “It was a good way to show respect,” she said.
Ms Kaatinen, who has reportedly worked for Finnair for 32 years, recruited crew members in December, and organised twice weekly rehearsals near Helsinki Airport.
She received help and feedback from a former flight attendant based in Mumbai, who is also a Bollywood dance instructor.
The crew were dancing to the tune of “Deewangi Deewangi”, from the film Om Shanti Om, directed and choreographed by Farah Khan.
