Children who continue treatment “To meet Santa on an airplane” Chiba Narita December 11, 18:29
During the two weeks until Christmas, an event was held at Narita Airport where children who were continuing to treat their illness took an airplane and went to see Santa Claus.
The event was opened by the United States airline company = United Airlines before Christmas, and 35 children aged 3 to 11 years old who are continuing to treat their illnesses and their parents participated.
Children who had been told in advance to “go to see the Arctic Santa Claus” received a specially prepared passport at Narita Airport and boarded the aircraft.
Then, in the cabin, which was decorated with red socks and so on, we sang “Jingle Bell” and “Santa is coming to town” along with the ukulele performance of the crew.
After that, when I finished the flight for about 40 minutes and arrived at the airport, the children were greeted by Santa Claus with a long white beard, and they enjoyed receiving gifts one by one and taking photos together .
The 9-year-old boy said, “I was glad to see the real thing because I didn't know if Santa really was. He was a gentle old man with a beard.
Also, a 39-year-old mother who participated with a 5-year-old eldest daughter said, “I had fewer opportunities to go out after my child became ill, but today I ’m going to travel by plane. I was able to tell. ”
“There may be few opportunities to board an aircraft while struggling with illness,” said Satoshi Sugawara, director of United Airlines Japan.
