Love at 30,000 feet

 

If you have any doubt on this Valentine’s Day that true love still exists, then look to low cost airline bmibaby, who played cupid to a Welsh couple.

 

Pilots Jonathan and Debi Peskett, who live in Rhoose Point, met and fell in love at Cardiff Airport while working for bmibaby.

 

Shortly after meeting a whirlwind romance soon ignited, and love blossomed, with the couple marrying within eight months of their first date.

 

Debi Peskett, First Officer, bmibaby said:

 

“I first laid eyes on Jonathan while training to become a pilot at Oxford Aviation Academy.  Although there was instant attraction, nothing happened until 4 years later when we were both in the same meeting for bmibaby and I fell head over heels all over again.  We have a lot in common, including sharing a love for flying and travel. 

 

“Not only did bmibaby introduce me to my husband, but it has given me the opportunity to travel the world with the man I love. Jonathan and I regularly fly together, which brings us closer as we reminisce about the early days of courtship.

 

“Valentine’s Day will be a real cause for celebration this year as I recently passed my command assessment, which means I can now train to become a captain for bmibaby.  I couldn’t have done without Jonathan’s advice and support – so the champagne will certainly be flowing on Monday.”
