With 150 passengers grounded for hours, the pilot decided to turn the situation around by ordering 30 pizzas from a local pizza shop. Tanya Stamos, a passenger on the flight, shared the story on social media, praising the pilot for his thoughtful gesture.

"Our pilot is absolutely amazing," Stamos wrote, alongside a photo of the pilot handing out pizza to waiting passengers. "He felt so bad for the situation that he ordered 30 pizzas from a local pizza shop and had it delivered right to our gate."
