To spend money on this, you must miss flying very much. Singapore Airlines is planning new flights, with no destination. The start and end point is the same. You land where you left.
The airline sees this as a method to get out of the financial hole left by the crown crisis. The airline will start with it next month, according to the Straits Times. Then it goes for the first time from Singapore Changi Airport to Singapore Changi Airport.
Otherwise, there is no possibility to fly in Singapore.
Why get on the plane if you don’t leave the country? In the city-state of Singapore, the borders are narrow. And that’s with an area of 725 square kilometers, that is, slightly larger than the canton of Glarus, with a population of 5.6 million (as of 2018). There are no domestic flights.
Apparently the idea is not so badly received by the people of Singapore. The channel “CNBC” interviewed the residents. “Singapore is an island and I am used to traveling, so I definitely miss flying,” a Singapore resident told the station.
“Missing check-in, food on the plane”
A frequent flyer gives more reasons for this: “Mainly because I miss traveling, the entire check-in process, eating on the plane and, of course, the warmth and smile of the flight attendants.”
Singapore Airlines announced earlier this week that it would lay off 2,400 employees. Pilots, cabin crew and ground crew are affected. The reason: the economic consequences of the coronavirus pandemic.
For the private airline Eva Air, one of Taiwan’s largest airlines, the idea of flights to nowhere has already worked. On August 8, the airline took off a tourist flight. All 309 Airbus seats were sold out. The fact that from an ecological point of view this means that the generation of fine dust is completely superfluous was very little criticized in Taiwan. (euc)
