- The layover periods between flights may seem like the perfect opportunity for flight attendants to explore new destinations, but for Manish Kumar, it doesn't stop there. After spending long hours in the sky, his passion for aviation remains present on the ground, as he sometimes requests a hotel room overlooking the airport runway, so he can enjoy watching takeoffs and landings up close.
Kumar, who has been working in the aviation hospitality industry for over 3 years, said in an interview with Afaq News in Arabic: "Airplanes are like engineering magic, as they have a great variety in their models, designs, and colors." Without any hesitation, the "Airbus A380" comes at the top of Kumar's favorite aircraft, firstly because of its large size, and secondly because of its beautiful design.
During one of his layovers, the Indian flight attendant was able to see an "Airbus Beluga," which has a strange and striking appearance at the same time. The scenes that Kumar captured garnered admiration from many of his followers on social media, who loved the view from his room and the details related to the world of aviation.
He added: "Watching airplanes is not just a hobby to pass the time, but a calm and satisfying experience, and also a way to relax after long hours of flying."
