John Travolta can now take to the skies in a 737.

The Grease star shared the exciting news in a video, which he posted to his Instagram on Sunday.

In the clip, the 68-year-old actor can be seen wearing a black t-shirt and standing in front of one of his own planes while he announces his new qualification with a giant beam on his face.

"Okay, so very proud moment in my aviation history. To add to my 747 and 707 licenses, I just received my 737 license," Travolta says in the video.

He goes on to say that it all went to plan and that he wants to share the victory with his fans and followers. "It went very well, so I'm just sharing my moment with you," the Saturday Night Fever star says.

The brief video is captioned: "A very proud moment for me. I just received my 737 license," alongside a plane emoji.

Travolta is a keen flier and has been taking to the skies for over four decades. MailOnline reports that he owns at least seven planes, including a Boeing 707, Bombardier Challenger 601, Boeing 727, and three Gulfstream jets.

The actor's passion for planes started at a young age. He started taking flying lessons when he was just 15, and became a licensed pilot at 22 - several years before he found international superstardom as Danny Zuko in the hit musical Grease.

Since then, he's continued to reach new heights both in his career and aboard his aircrafts. His sprawling Florida estate is reportedly home to a private runway and taxiway for his planes, and he even wrote a book - 'Propeller One-Way Night Coach' - about a young boy's first flight.

Meanwhile, his love for aviation was formally recognized by the Australian aircraft company Qantas, for whom he is an official ambassador, and the Living Legends of Aviation, who inducted him in 2007.

The news that Travolta can now get behind the wheel of a 737 comes just hours after a plane of the same model crashed inexplicably in the mountains of southern China.

None of the 132 people aboard the China Eastern airline have been found alive, as rescue workers continue to search the crash site for signs of life.
