Pop star and ex-Prime Minister dating partner Katy Perry praised Air Canada’s cabin crew for their professionalism after witnessing their handling of a mid-air medical emergency during a recent flight from Montreal to Los Angeles.

Perry, who is dating former prime minister Justin Trudeau, wrote in a post on X Saturday: “Last night I flew on an @AirCanada flight #AC779 from Montreal to LAX and I watched a medical emergency happen on the plane.

Perry’s post on X earned over 2 million views.

“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.”

“The medical situation was resolved on the flight and everyone left OK,” she added.

“Good for you @AirCanada!” she ended the post, which garnered over two million views.

Air Canada responded to her on X, writing: “Thank 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.”

Among the replies to Perry’s post were some who applauded the AC crew members.

“Air crew are always in the news for the wrong reasons,” wrote on person. “Glad to see that the air crew did amazingly well.”

Some complained that Air Canada only responded to Perry because she is a celebrity. “I bet they wouldn’t even acknowledge a complaint from a regular Joe Schmoe.” (From experience, this is not always the case.

And of course there were others who couldn’t resist taking a shot at Perry, not believing she would fly commercial.

 “You honestly expect us to believe you took a regular flight with the peasants?” one X respondent wrote.

Perry is the godmother of Norwegian Cruise Line’s Norwegian Prima.
