Dinner with a view of the tarmac.
Singapore Airlines has met with incredible success by offering the inhabitants of the city-state a meal aboard one of its A380s.
This ephemeral restaurant, installed in the world's largest passenger plane, was sold out in a flash as the 900 seats offered for a dinner on October 24 and 25 all sold out on Monday in less than half an hour. , the local Straits Times daily reported.
Entrance fee: 642 Singaporean dollars, or about 400 euros.
A boon for the company faced with the collapse in air traffic due to the coronavirus.
Moreover, in front of this "extraordinary request", she indicated that she was going to extend this offer to two more days for lunch and dinner.
The more expensive ticket will offer a four-course meal in first class, while the cheapest will cost 53 Singapore dollars, or 33 euros in economy class.
No impact on the environment
Unlike several companies in Australia, Japan and Taiwan, which have offered “flights to nowhere” leaving and landing at the same airport to replenish their finances, the Singapore Airlines Airbus will remain on the tarmac.
The company gave up this option in favor of commercial proposals with less impact on the environment.
To respect social distancing, half of the seats on the device will remain empty.
And for those who prefer to "travel" without leaving their living room, Singapore Airlines also delivers home meal trays.
