With a title of 'Soar for Singapore', you'd expect something aspirational from this song - but what netizens got was something arguably better. Airliner Jetstar Asia put out a song for their 20th anniversary on Instagram on Thursday (Aug 1), also earning praise from netizens for its humour.

The music video - which also pays tribute to Singapore's upcoming National Day on Aug 9 - has since garnered over 2,000 likes and more than 47,000 views. Portraying an auntie, Van Der Ven also rushes to get their carry-on baggage from the luggage compartment, before blitzing out of the plane to get their check-in luggage from the conveyor belt.
Many also affirmed their support for Jetstar, with one saying: "I want to apply for Jetstar stewardess just so I can be part of this amazing ad". The 32-year-old Singaporean said he did not expect such a positive response to the music video and was "extremely anxious and stressed" about it.
