This is certainly not the first time this has happened, and it certainly won't be thelast, but this time, the skit between flight attendants and a passenger is memorable. The flight was an Abu Dhabi - Singapore, operated by Ethiad, And the plane a Boeing 787-9 which can usually accommodate up to 336 passengers. Alexander Svanevik, the name of the protagonist of the story, was not in the company of 335 other passengers but alone and upon landing received a personalized announcement.

I'm alone on my flight to Singapore.

The pilot makes all announcements starting with "Mr. Alexander."

"Goodmorning Mr. Alexander and Welcome to Singapore."

A 7-hour flight certainly unforgettable, no line for the bathroom, no screaming children, and all the attentions of the staff for him, plus he was also in business class, so comfort was right at home.

Alex also has immortalized the moment of landing where you can clearly hear the announcement:

Alex also bothered to ask if the flight had left anyway even if he had given up, since he would have been a waste an entire flight for a single passenger, from the point of view of the ecological, but he was told that the flight would still leave even if it was empty, every plane has a schedule well points out and skipping a flight would mean creating damage and delays-so no zeroing the carbon footprint For Alex this time.

Even the cousin Emirates recently started a single-passenger flight, Bhavesh Javeri took a personalized tour of the entire plane directly with the pilot.

"Normally I'm not the person who makes videos, but today I felt special because I think I'm the only passenger on the Emirates flight for Dubai."

What happens when there is only one passenger on board?

This is something that can happen, as well as the other way around, or overbooking, it has happened more often than usual in the last period, especially because of the pandemic.

When it happens the flight hardly comes deleted, because it would miss connecting with other flights that the same plane has to serve in the country of arrival. Before taking off, however, there are some small cautions to follow for the security Of the aircraft, members and (the) passenger.

Airplanes are designed to travel at certain conditions, one of them is the weight, an airplane can neither travel too heavy nor too much light. In these cases, therefore, the ground crew loads special sandbags on board, evenly distributed to make up for the lack of passengers and balance the airplane, in order to travel safely.
