Air India’s flights to nowhere to take Indians on scenic sightseeing joyride: Report

Taking cue from Australian national carrier Qantas Airways, Air India is planning to start its own ‘flights to nowhere’ that will take off and land at the same airport, giving passengers a scenic view of major sights in India, officials familiar with the matter told Hindustan Times.

Pricing and modalities are yet to be finalised but airline officials told the publication that these flights will fly low giving passengers an aerial tour of famous locations in India.

“Yes, we are exploring the possibility of starting a scenic flight service. Other details are to be decided,” an Air India spokesperson told the news agency, adding that wide-body aircraft such as the Boeing 747, a jumbo jet will be used to fly these routes.
