Question

China’s very first airplane restaurant recently opened in Wuhan, China. Named “Lilly Airways”, the restaurant is located in the cabin area of an old Boeing 737 passenger airplane.

Businessman Li Liang acquired the aircraft from Indonesian airline Batavia Air, but then he had to go through six mouths of exhausting custom(海关)procedures in order to get the aircraft into China.” Demounting(拆卸), port, shipping, business license, trade declaration…All these procedures were never done by anybody before, which means I had to go through them one by one,” Li said. He added that the Boeing 737 passenger airplane had to be disassembled a total of eight times in its four-month journey from Indonesia to Wuhan, China.

Getting the plane split into parts that then had to be packed in around 70 containers and shipped many times apparently cost the businessman a great 3 million yuan. Add that to the 5 million yuan, he paid for the plane itself and you have one of the most expensive restaurants in the world.

After finally setting up the airplane restaurant on the Optics Valley Pedestrian Street, one of the busiest shopping areas of Wuhan, Li is ready to welcome curious diners and airplane enthusiasts. The restaurant is located in the cabin area of the airplane, and the cockpit(驾驶舱)has been changed into a flying simulator(模拟器)where people will be able to experience what it’s like to fly a passenger airplane.

Li said that a dinner at Lilly Airways is priced between 200 to 300 yuan per person, while the cockpit flying simulation will charge a flight enthusiast 300 to 400 yuan per hour. Li expects that it will be a while before this place turns a profit.
