A passenger was the only one to fly a Boeing 737 in Italy

When Skirmantas Strimaitis took the plane to travel from his country, Lithuania, to his destination, Italy, he could not believe what had happened to him. Despite having occurred for 188 people, the Boeing 737-800 that brought him to the city of Bergamo was half empty: He was the only pbadenger.

The situation occurred because the Novaturas agency had booked the plane to repatriate a group of people from Italy. To prevent the aircraft from traveling to this country without anyone, they are selling single tickets. Only the Strimaitis bought tickets.

Besides the Lithuanian, the pilot, the co-pilot and five crew members were in the plane. "The staff was great and I was very happy to be the only person in the plane with them, even though it was just them and them who were professionals. We laugh and we laugh. It was great, "said the pbadenger to the newspaper The sun.

The man was surprised when he arrived at the plane and took selfies in the empty aircraft. "It's something that happens only once in a lifetime", he said.

Although this situation is unusual, Strimaitis was not the only one to be alone in a commercial aircraft with these characteristics. In July 2018, Saad Jilani, 28, traveled alone between Corfu, Greece, and Birmingham, England.
