A Nigerian man has captured the hearts of many after going down on one knee to propose to his fiancée mid-air on an Ibom Air flight, an unforgettable gesture that has since gone viral and generated diverse reactions across various social media platforms.
This heartwarming moment comes just weeks after Ibom Air trended online due to a different viral video that showed an altercation between a female passenger and an airline official, sparking heated discussions. This time, however, the airline is in the spotlight for a much more romantic reason.
The video, shared by Helen on TikTok, documents the special moment from start to finish. Seated beside her partner, she had no idea what was about to happen until he surprised her by kneeling in the narrow aisle of the plane, holding a beautiful bouquet of flowers in one hand and pulling out a sparkling proposal ring with the other.
The emotional scene saw Helen bursting with joy as she accepted the proposal. Overwhelmed with excitement, she proudly flaunted the engagement ring to the camera while leaning affectionately on her fiancé’s arm, drawing cheers and admiration from fellow passengers onboard.
The clip has since sparked waves of reactions from social media users, with many leaving hilarious and witty remarks. Some applauded the couple for embracing “love in the air,” while others playfully teased the grand gesture.
James Chris remarked: “Why is my mind telling me that Ibom Air paid you people to do this bcoz we are not patronizing them again?”
Laurence Junior wrote: “Una too like love for this country oh 😂🥱.”
Emeka Febian stated: “Love in the air can cause crash.”
Tony Chris added: “I hope una wear iron pant.”
Regardless of the playful banter, many fans congratulated the couple for their love story, while some hailed Ibom Air for being part of such a memorable life event.
