MEXICAN PRESIDENTIAL PLANE TO HOST PARTIES

Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador said Monday he has now essentially given up on his quest to sell off the country’s presidential jet, and will instead rent it out for weddings and parties. López Obrador refuses to use the plane, bought by his predecessor, which he says is too luxurious. It has been difficult to sell because it is configured to carry only 80 people and has a full presidential suite with a private bath. Experts say it would be costly to reconfigure into a typical passenger jet that would carry up to 300 passengers. Instead, the president said the plane will be available for people to rent to hold in-flight parties, and the rental fees will pay for its expenses and maintenance. President López Obrador said, “It will be open to the public if anyone wants it, because they’re getting married … and they want to bring their friends and family … or coming of age parties, birthdays.”
* “…and hanky panky,” he added with a wink.
* El Club de la Milla Alta, as they say down there. Well, “up there” down there.
* For parties, they depressurize the cabin and a bunch of little piñatas come out instead of oxygen masks.
* None of the world’s 2,755 billionaires wanted a luxury jet? There’s something he’s not telling us – like it’s got bedbugs or something.
