easyJet wants in-flight weddings
07.05.09
easyJet has announced that it wants to hold marriage ceremonies mid-flight in a unique revenue-raising idea. The airline announced the plan after their research showed many people dream of marrying above the clouds, as they search for different ways to celebrate their union. The move would mean couples could marry on the way to their honeymoon!
The budget airline is reported to be investigating whether its pilots could become authorised to carry out weddings during flights. The plan would see the captain hand over controls to the co-pilot (the plane is on auto pilot anyway) once the flight has reached its cruising altitude, in order to officiate the wedding at the front of the plane.
Paul Simmons, easyJet's UK regional manager, told the Guardian newspaper: ‘We're excited about the plans. If there is the opportunity, our pilots could be marrying couples in the air. After their marriage at a height of 30,000 feet, the couples then can go directly on their honeymoon.’ Although, if the family attend the wedding, they might be joined on it by their mother-in-laws!
