This plane looks exactly like any other commercial plane, but it does not fly. People call it "the flight to nowhere."

58-year-old Bahadur Chand Gupta spent 6,000 pounds on this "retired" A300 in 2003. He parked the plane in a suburban area of New Delhi for people and children to visit.

"I usually would charge 1 dollar to board the plane. But if the child comes from a poor family, it would be completely free, and I would also provide them an airline meal," said Gupta.

During each tour, children can observe the interior of the cabin, get a boarding pass, listen about flight safety guidelines, and enjoy an airline meal.

Gupta says, people can receive happiness from helping other people, and that happiness is the reward.
