Russia's Ural Airlines is giving customers a taste of the skies at home.
? When would you start daydreaming about plastic trays filled with reheated lumps that taste like chicken if you say the words "This is chicken, I am eating chicken" before every forkful?One Russian airline thinks the answer to both of those questions is "Right now," and has started selling its in-flight food to housebound residents in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Yekaterinburg.
In a post on Instagram, Ural Airlines wrote that the meals would be just like being in an airplane "except for the view from the window." The Russian Association of Air Transport Operators said that airplane seat occupancy fell by 92 percent last month, and all international flights have been grounded. Ural Airlines has temporarily parked one third of its fleet at Yekaterinburg Koltsovo airport and it has furloughed members of its flight crews and ground crews as a result.
