Air India plane flies to Dubai from Amritsar with just one passenger

UAE-based Indian businessman S. P. Singh Oberoi was the sole passenger that departed from Amritsar, an official said.

UAE-based Indian businessman S. P. Singh Oberoi was pleasantly surprised to have the whole plane to himself when he boarded Air India’s flight from Amritsar to Dubai with an economy-class ticket in hand. Mr. Oberoi, who holds a golden visa that allows 10-year long residency in the UAE, was the sole passenger on the national carrier’s Dubai-bound three-hour flight that departed from Amritsar around 3.45 a.m. on Wednesday, an official said. During the flight, he snapped pictures with the crew members and paced up and down the aircraft multiple times without any hindrance. Air India did not respond to PTI’s request for a statement on this matter.
