In this picture taken, 25 October 2007, Indian school students sit in the cabin of a decommissioned plane in New Delhi. Of the 55 school girls who took a 'flight', only three had flown ever, despite a boom in air travel as the country's economy grows and incomes soar.Industry experts say nearly 100 million Indians are likely to travel by plane this year -- compared to less than 50 million in 2003-04 -- but still a small proportion in a country of 1.1 billion people. "Most people in India have not seen an aircraft. I have been flooded with requests," said the plane's owner Bahadur Chand Gupta, a retired aircraft engineer who floated the concept in 2004.
