A Flynas pilot insisted on taking his father with him into the cockpit on a flight from Riyadh to Al-Baha. Abdullah Al-Ghamdi made the gesture in gratitude for what his father had done for him to make him a pilot. He said his father was confined to hospital in Riyadh and he took him on the flight to get him out of depression. "I was determined to have my father with me on the same flight so that I can serve him," he said. The pilot circulated a picture of him with his father in the cockpit on Snapshat and was immediately showered with words of praise by the app's users. "I wanted to tell my father that I was flying that huge aircraft only because of his support and prayers," Al-Ghamdi said.
