MANILA, Philippines — Jo Koy commended the crew of his Philippine Airlines (PAL) flight for staying calm and for going "above and beyond" while handling a tense situation aboard his flight that made an emergency landing in Japan. 

Jo Koy shared his experience on his Instagram stories this afternoon. 

“We had to do an emergency landing in Tokyo, Japan, but I’m gonna say this. The flight attendants on PAL were amazing. You were amazing. Above and beyond. You guys were pros. Thank you for remaining calm in a situation that could’ve went south fast,” Jo Koy said in his video. 

He did not specify which PAL flight he was in. 

Jo Koy was having a meal with his family while awaiting for their next flight back to the United States. 

The Filipino-American was in town for some activities for his JK Foundation. He is set to hold the Manila leg of his “Just Being Koy” tour in June. 

A Philippine Airlines flight bound for Los Angeles made an emergency landing earlier today in Tokyo’s Haneda Airport after smoke was detected in the cabin. 

The flight departed Manila last night before it got diverted to Haneda. 

Transportation secretary Vince Dizon said all the 355 passengers and crew aboard the Boeing 777 aircraft were safe. 

Dizon said investigation is underway regarding the incident.
