A five-year-old who had to miss his kindergarten graduation received a surprise ceremony during a flight from Orlando, Florida, to San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Xavier, in a red cap and gown, walked down the plane aisle after a flight attendant introduced him.

"He is missing his graduation, his kindergarten graduation today. And because he chose to fly Frontier instead, we are giving him his graduation ceremony on this flight," the attendant said over the public address system.

Although 5-year-old Xavier had to miss his kindergarten graduation, passengers on a Frontier flight were able to give him a mid-air celebration.

"Pomp and Circumstance" was played over the PA system and as he came down the aisle and broke out into a big grin, fellow passengers applauded him and a few even gave him high fives.

Here's the story behind a viral high school graduation video that shows how fast time flies

"He was just beyond excited, like his face lit up," Xavier's mom, Janeiry Rivas, told "Good Morning America." "He was super super excited, getting high fives from people and getting cheered on."
