SpiceJet discovered Subhan on the social media where his heartfelt story was narrated by Humans of Bombay, an Indian photoblog. Subhan’s father had passed away when he was just 2-years-old. His mother worked in a school but lost her job during the Covid pandemic. She started working as a cook to support the family. However, Subhan was forced to drop out of school due to their financial condition. To support his family, Subhan started selling tea on the streets of Mumbai. Within six months, he was able to save enough to re-join school. Now, he studies in the morning and sells tea in the evening.
SpiceJet team got in touch with Subhan and his family. To celebrate Children’s Day and his love for flying, SpiceJet flew Subhan, his mother and two sisters to Delhi. The family had never travelled by air before and this was a first for them. SpiceJet team had planned an eventful day-long program packed with surprises for Subhan and his family.
After reaching Delhi, Subhan and his family were taken to SpiceJet’s flight simulator facility, where, much to his delight, he got to spend time on Boeing 737 flight simulator. The experience of getting so close to his dream job was immense for Subhan who could not contain his excitement by the end of the session.
For the last and the life-changing surprise, they were brought to the airline headquarters where they met SpiceJet’ Chairman and Managing Director, Ajay Singh who offered a full sponsorship of Subhan’s pilot training course at SpiceJet’s Spice Star Academy. Subhan’s dream of becoming a pilot will be realized as soon as he finishes his Pilot training program. Subhan was presented with a trainee pilot’s uniform with a badge with his name and an airplane model.
