Bali converts Boeing aircraft to tourist destination and Singapore Airlines converted Airbus into restaurant

Aircraft like Boeing and Airbus are designed to carry passengers who love to use the aerial route to travel from one place to another. These patrons value their time and want to reach their destination at the earliest. To them, time is money and they bring in revenue for the airlines. However, a time comes when these aircraft are used for purposes other than flying. One such example has become news. It seems inhabitants in Bali are witness to such a situation. Bali inhabitants baffled by Boeing 737 resting in field. Its location is near the popular Pandawa beach in a limestone quarry close to a highway. Its front portion has runway steps leaning against it. Incidentally, it has become a popular tourist destination. Its origin remains a mystery.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Singapore Airlines had the bright idea of converting two of its Airbus into restaurants. It was to allow people to enjoy the thrill of dining in a different surrounding. Travel-starved diners eat in parked jets turned into restaurants. it was a huge success and travel-starved diners enjoyed the unique experience. At that time, the aviation industry was in a crisis and had to dream up strategies to remain visible. The airline was the flag carrier of Singapore and it offered passengers the chance to dine on board two A380 superjumbos -- the world's biggest passenger jet.

Airbus plans to increase its seating capacity in A380

Airbus plans to increase its seating capacity in A380, the biggest passenger jet in the world. The European aircraft manufacturer wants to squeeze in an extra economy seat in each row on its A380 jumbo jets - that way, the total number of seats in each row would increase from 10 to 11. At present, Airbus has more than 170 of these aircraft in operation by 13 airlines. Most notable among these are Emirates, Qantas, Singapore Airlines, Etihad and British Airways.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 3 June 2016.

Obviously, the new three-five-three pattern of seating would be more crowded when compared to its current three-four-three setting. The middle seat will be the most loathed seat in the cabin because whoever is occupying the middle of the middle row would be sandwiched between two lots of two passengers - and that would make it even more difficult to shuffle past seats or talk to the flight crew.
It may be recalled that last year, Emirates set the record for the world's longest flight - it flew an A380 from Dubai to Auckland in 17 hours and 15 minutes.
A380 is the largest passenger jet in the world. It is a double-decker jet with four cabin classes: economy, premium economy, business and first-class. Airbus expects to raise $32 million by adding the extra seats to its double-decker A380s.
