Greeting passengers and serving meals

Once ready, Ayla confidently walked through the aircraft and greeted travellers with a cheerful introduction.

“Welcome to the best airline in the world, Emirates,” she can be heard saying in the video.

The youngster also took part in meal service, asking passengers, “Would you like chicken or beef?” before helping distribute food and drinks. Throughout the flight, she enthusiastically assisted with simple tasks, including collecting used trays and headphones from passengers.

Her natural confidence and eagerness impressed both travellers and crew members, many of whom happily joined in to support her dream.

Speaking about the experience, Ayla’s mother explained that her daughter's fascination with aviation began during family trips.

“When we travel, Ayla likes to dress up and work with the crew. It is entirely her idea. The crew love her and she always has the best experience. She has not officially received an award yet, but she has received lovely gestures such as handwritten notes and photos from the crew. Her dream is for Emirates to officially contact her for a tour, and she wants to become cabin crew when she grows up. She loves to travel the world and help people,” she said.

According to her mother, Ayla has already enjoyed similar interactions on previous flights and remains determined to pursue a career in aviation someday.
