Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) is offering first-class dining on a parked plane at £392 per meal.
The airline started offering the service last week and has added more slots for April after they sold out quickly.
A number of airlines have been thinking creatively about what to do with grounded planes during the pandemic.
In October, Singapore Airlines offered diners the opportunity to have lunch on a stationary Airbus A380 parked at the city’s main airport. Despite a price tag of up to £380 the first two seating dates sold out within half an hour.
Japan’s ANA dining experience takes place on a Boeing 777 parked at Haneda Airport in Tokyo.
While a first-class seat costs 59,800 yen, diners can opt for a cheaper business-class experience for 29,800 yen. The “restaurant with wings” idea was conceived by employees who wanted to make better use of its parked aircraft.
