Here in Montreal, Canada, after touching down on a plane, people are clapping 👏🏻. I’m not aware of any such practice in other places. You? : numericcitizen.micro.blog

@numericcitizen Charter tourists from 🇳🇴 going to the Canary Islands have done it since the seventies.

@numericcitizen usually has happened when the flight has been turbulent so more in relief. But I’ve heard that this clapping differs culturally too and can be intended differently

@numericcitizen Landings in Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand, can be pretty difficult with turbulence and wind shear etc. People definitely applaud the pilot sometimes.

@numericcitizen I’ve only ever experienced it when there’s been bad turbulence in-flight or a rough descent/landing, or after a looong-delayed flight finally reaches its destination.
