Wow on so many levels... SpiceJet 737 secretly chartered for wedding Yesterday (May 23, 2021) a SpiceJet Boeing 737-800 operated a 1hr36min flight to nowhere, in the sense that it both took off and landed at Madurai Airport (IXM), in the south of India. What was the reason for this flight? Well, many places in…

@Emily educate yourself, here’s a start on the definition of a superspreader event: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/coronavirus-covid-19-superspreaders-pandemic/

I agree with @Max. Good luck to the people who shout conspiracy, anti mask, anti vaccination. Good luck to you in the coming times. We all came to Earth for an experience, and its coming.

Hey. It’s a democracy. The people do what they desire, unlike our nanny state. The thing I’ve realised after living in India for a while is that people don’t really care what foreigners think. When you have money, flaunt it. Weddings are a big deal and not just to brag - they are a big event for the family. Anyways we got enough rich hypocrites at home so time is better spent looking at the scum shop in our backyard. Florida anyone? Hardly news worthy nor a super spreader event as someone said.

Update to my previous comment: It would seem I was wrong, as most news media here seem to be reporting Lucky's original statement; that the flight circled the Meenakshi Amman temple. I still do not understand how, looking at the flight path... but anyway, sorry for the misinformation. -HSK

I’ve been traveling to South Asia since the early 80’s. India is amazing full of wonderful individuals. Folks like these are unfortunately becoming more prevalent. Especially when they travel. I’ve been diverted twice on International flights where wealthy Indian men were ordering the flight staff around. Mixed feelings, as American’s certainly have a bad rap of self-entitlement but their actions were off the chain. AND, upon landing in Kolkata & Delhi, 4 folks came on board yelling. I love India, their culture & most importantly ‘most’ of their people. That said, I fly to PBH from BKK & never again DEl or God forbid MMN. What is interesting is the Governmental response which blames the crew. Kinda like the governmental response complaining to all media outlets that the current Covid Variant that is raging in India should NOT be called the India Varriant. I wish the couple well but their funds would have been better spent helping out their servant’s family members. $0.02 Deposited

That's why COVID is raging through India.

Exactly what @Ferse said! I'm all good with this as long as if there is any massive spread within this crowd and deaths from it, they don't have a right to clog the medical system.
