This is the heartwarming moment when a pilot helped to load suitcases onto his plane in Florida.

The footage shows the American Airlines pilot of flight 4051 actively participating in loading bags, a task typically outside the scope of a pilot's duties at the Key West International Airport (EYW) on January 5.

The situation unfolded when staffing shortages posed challenges for airport operations and caused delays.

The pilot was keen to take off on time so rolled up his sleeves and helped the ground staff move the luggage from the trolleys and load it onto the plane.

Passengers onboard the Embraer 175 watched in amazement.

Robert Idell, who captured the video, said: 'This pilot deserves a raise and recognition.'
