Flying High Airbus A320 has been converted into a restaurant at the Hawai Adda complex on Ferozepur Road in Ludhiana.
Hawai Adda is the name of the complex where four cousins have opened a restaurant inside a plane in Ludhiana, a city known for its opulence.
The location is the Verka Milk Bar premises on Ferozepur Road, where Milkfed, the Staterun Corporation that owns Verka brand, has reportedly leased out the land to Kulwant Singh for Rs one lakh a month.
Jaswinder Singh, Kulwant’s cousin and the managing partner, said: “I acquire scrapped planes and turn them into themed entertainment venues. In Punjab, it’s the first one-of-a-kind project as well as a restaurant in India.”
The project did run into trouble with the authorities, such as the Municipal Corporation, who did not know whether putting together of the plane here as a new building was the best idea.
The fire safety wing too gave it a No-Objection Certificate (NOC) after much controversy and delay, before the place opened for business, around two months ago.
