SINGAPORE: Tarmac meals have become an unlikely hit for coronavirus-battered Singapore Airlines, with hundreds of “passengers” paying the equivalent of a budget ticket just to dine inside grounded A380 jumbos.
With the aviation industry in deep crisis due to the pandemic, airlines have turned to alternative ways to raise cash, from offering “flights to nowhere” to tours of aircraft. The chance to eat plane food proved surprisingly popular – all 900 seats for lunch on Oct 24 and 25 sold out within half an hour of bookings opening on Monday, the Straits Times newspaper reported.
The most expensive option is a four-course meal in a first-class suite, while the cheapest costs Sg$53 and consists of a three-course meal in economy class.
