Indian Boy Makes Lufthansa’s First in-Flight ‘Announcement by a Kid’
India’s Yashas Dassani, a spontaneous nine-year-old boy from #mumbai recently stepped into the
shoes of Lufthansa’s airline cabin crew and made the first live onboard ‘announcement by a kid’ on
flight LH 756 from Frankfurt to #mumbai in the presence of more than 350 passengers. Yashas had
outclassed children from several other countries to Lufthansa’s global ‘Your Announcement Contest’.
As the winner Yashas received a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of the #lufthansa cabin crew
to make a live on board announcement. Before stepping aboard, Yashas visited Lufthansa`s crew
premises at Frankfurt airport where he received his own flight attendant uniform. A #lufthansa pilot
then explained to Yashas how the crew prepares a long-haul flight and invited him to have a closer
look at a Boeing 747-400.
On board flight LH 756 Yashas welcomed the passengers travelling from Frankfurt to his hometown
Mumbai. After the announcement the passengers broke into applause and congratulated him for
doing a great job. Shortly before landing his voice was heard in cabin again, saying good bye to the
guests.
Yashas was on his way back from a trip through several European countries as he had also won flight
tickets to a European #lufthansa destination of his choice for himself and his parents.
This first-of-its-kind exciting online competition by #lufthansa Passenger Airlines was launched in early
2016. The contest had received 250-plus registrations from children aged between six to ten years
from nine countries across the world. A jury comprising of #lufthansa experts shortlisted the 15 of the
most imaginative onboard announcements from the videos received. The winning video was
determined through an online public poll. It had featured Yashas welcoming passengers on board
Lufthansa Flight 007 with a hearty Namaste! An avid tennis and football buff, Yashas is a student at
Mumbai’s G.D. Somani Memorial School. He has nurtured the desire to fly #lufthansa since his first
visit to the airport at age three, and this desire coupled with his creativity led to his participation in the
contest.
