IT was a tearful, memorable moment for a mother and daughter as they shared a plane aisle for the last time.

After 40 years in the skies, leading Malaysia Airlines cabin crew member Zuhaimi Hashim ended her career.

According to a post in A Fly Guy's Cabin Crew Lounge Facebook, the stewardess took her last walk on the Sydney-Kuala Lumpur flight with her daughter, Delilah Zainal, who will continue her mother's legacy with Malaysia Airlines.

During the flight, Delilah is seen putting a tiara with the words "Retired" on her mother, followed by a sash that read: "Officially Retired".

Zuhaimi grew emotional, wiping away tears as passengers applauded as she walked down the aisle.

She ended her walk in the rear galley, where a banner reading “We Will Miss You” awaited. – August 14, 2025
