An assistant captain on a Royal Jordanian flight from Amman to Dubai decided to put the phrase "love is in the air" to the test ... and succeeded. 

On Friday morning, Captain Richard Abu Manneh got down on one knee and asked his girlfriend for her hand in marriage en route to Dubai.

"Today’s flight is a very special one for me since the girl I love is here with us," the captain said before asking for her hand in marriage. 

The woman said yes ... and lots of hugs, flowers, and mabrouks followed. 

The Jordanian carrier posted photos of the entire incident to their social media accounts with a Facebook caption that read:

"The Royal Jordanian family wishes them a lifetime of happiness!"

The captain proposed to a "very special passenger to his heart"

Just look at these love birds!

And the bling ...

People were beyond touched...

"Ajwe2 romanciye 3al Royal Jordanian"

"A7la proposal"

Some wanted guidance ... to follow in the footsteps of this epic captain!

While others want to know where they could get someone like this captain...

Jokes aside, lots of "god bless yous" ensued

Mabrouk!
