Located on the border with Crimea, one of the main stages of the war between Russia and Ukraine, Anapa airport, which has been inoperative since February 24, 2022, sought a different way to maintain activities at the terminal.
Now the airport sells a kind of flying experience on a Yakovlev Yak-40 business jet that goes nowhere. Participants buy tickets, go through check-in, board and can visit the cockpit and interior of the executive plane that is on the airport patio.
The flight that goes nowhere gives engers in-flight service, with food and water, as well as a pre-flight patio inspection.
To participate in the “air tour”, interested engers purchase a ticket worth 1.500 Rubles or US $24 dollars (R$ 129 at current exchange rates).
According to Insider Portal, the experience also takes the “engers” to the terminal's fire department, which performs a baptism with the planes that are left in the courtyard.
Below you can see a summary of the experience:
