After nearly 38 years in the skies, Flight Purser Alice Waweru concluded her remarkable journey with the #PrideofAfrica . Her tenure as cabin crew came to an end with a final flight to JFK, New York... Follow thread...

To honour her for the exemplary service, we mounted a ceremonial water cannon salute which took her by surprise. Alice, who was joined by her family and friends, holds the distinction of having been the Flight Purser on our historic inaugural flight to New York.

We wish Alice a lifetime of good tailwinds! #HappyRetirement
