A Flight to Nowhere

Presumably, when you board a flight you expect it to take-off and go somewhere. This is not the case for Gupta Air. One enterprising former Indian Airlines employee bought himself a used up Airbus missing some of the requisite parts for it to fly, and is instead offering the inflight experience without ever leaving the ground.

For about $4, "passengers" can board their Gupta Air flight and experience meals and drinks served from service carts, and hear safety announcements. The plane itself has landed in a suburb of Delhi, so wannabe flyers, or the curious can experience some of the pleasures (tongue is firmly in cheek) of flying without the jet leg.
