Flights For Only $4 With NO Airport Taxes in India, Smart
Posted October 3rd, 2007 by Alex Ion
India is a big country, indeed, with poverty and malnutrition considered the biggest problems, where less than one percent of the Indians had the chance to step up in a plane. Bahadur Chand Gupta is an Indian entrepreneur that had a business idea of buying an old Airbus 300 and use it for a $4 flight tour. The idea materialized and though it sounds odd, I agree, the business will grow because people are curious and the price is not high.
Though the plane misses a wing and a small part of the tail, the experience as I read in TimesOnline that quoted a young teacher is “more beautiful than [she] ever imagined” because the six-people crew will give you a warm welcome. Bahadur Chand Gupta, is the captain – the name recommends him – and gives you landing and turbulence updates, and his wife is a stewardess. If you’re in or from Delhi don’t forget to take the “flight trip” to the airplane. I am sure those 4 bucks would be well invested.
