Global pop superstar Katy Perry, best known for her Billboard chart hits Firework, Roar, and Dark Horse, has heaped praise on flight attendants at Air Canada who leapt into action to help save the life of one of the singer\u2019s seatmates during a flight to Los Angeles on Saturday evening.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old pop princess, who shot to stardom with her bestselling Teenage Dream album, had no doubt been returning home after visiting her boyfriend, Justin Trudeau, the ex-Prime Minister of Canada, who lives in the Outremont district of\u00a0Montreal.<\/p>\n

Perry was flying back to Los Angeles aboard Air Canada flight AC-779, which departed Montreal-Trudeau International Airport at 6:35 pm on May 23 for the five and a half hour flight to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

Fun Fact: Montreal-Trudeau International Airport is named after Justin Trudeau\u2019s father, Pierre Trudeau, who served as Canada\u2019s Prime Minister from 1968 to 1979 and again from 1980 to 1984. The airport was renamed from Montreal Dorval Airport in 2004.<\/p>\n

During what should have been a routine flight, however, Perry says that one of the other passengers was suddenly taking ill. What she witnessed next, truly inspired Perry.<\/p>\n

Taking to X, Perry wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cLast night I flew on an Air Canada flight #AC779 from Montreal to LAX, and I watched a medical emergency happen on the plane. I was so impressed with the level of attentiveness and quick action from the crew that I just want to highlight the level of professionalism and consideration they had for the passenger.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the quick actions of the cabin crew meant that the passenger was okay, with Perry adding:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe medical situation was resolved on the flight, and everyone left ok. Good for you Air Canada!\u201d<\/p>\n

It didn\u2019t take long for Air Canada\u2019s social media team to see Perry\u2019s post, with a representative of the airline replying: \u201cThank you Katy, we will make sure to send your kind words to the team onboard. We are sure they will be more than happy to see this.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a world of celebrities putting airlines on blast for minor inconveniences, Perry\u2019s kind words on X struck a chord with her more than 86 million followers on the platform, with hundreds of people praising her for taking the time to call out the hard work of the Air Canada flight attendants.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell done Air Canada! Nice one too from you Katy for appreciating Air Canada publicly,\u201d one person wrote. \u201cYou didn\u2019t have to but you did. Goes to show that it\u2019s not all about complaints but commendation too when deserved.\u201d<\/p>\n

While a crew member at another airline shared the inspiration that Perry had given him to pursue his dream career: \u201cI became a flight attendant because of you! You inspired me so much throughout the years to just be myself and do what I love fearlessly!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cToday I am what I always wanted to be, and I\u2019m so proud of what I\u2019ve achieved. Thank you for existing,\u201d the fan shared.<\/p>\n

Despite months of speculation about Perry\u2019s relations with Justin Trudeau, the couple only went \u2018Instagram official\u2019 last December when Perry shared a string of photos for a trip they went on together to Japan.<\/p>\n
