Artist launches airline that guarantees you will 'fly with happiness'

Could an artist create the perfect air travel experience? Chinese-American artist and choreographer Qinmin Liu believes she can. Her new airline, Angelhaha airlines, will, from December, carry passengers to art events around the world, guaranteeing the “most positive energy” to its customers in the process. It’s a bold claim but as the airline’s slogan promises: “Fly with Angelhaha. Fly with happiness.” The maiden flight will take off on 6 December – flying to Miami for the city’s Art Basel event – from New York on a small private jet seating just nine passengers. At the time of writing four seats are still available, with one-way tickets from $2,700-3,500 (perhaps making it more suitable for those with the budgets to invest in art, too). After that Angelhaha will be flying (one way only) to events in New York, Hong Kong, Venice, Berlin and Paris, and the plan is to have one large aircraft, so future flights will be more affordable. According to the artist, prices will range from $300-$3,000, depending on the itinerary. She offers reassurance that yes, the airline is real and yes, it’s definitely happening. Taking on the role of CEO, airline representative and chief flight attendant, Liu explains that passengers will be getting a piece of herself as part of the experience.<br/>
