text: Customers were delighted on Wednesday when an aircraft-themed eatery called HighFly debuted in Gujarat's Vadodara district. Customers can now fulfil their goal of 'dining in the air' while sitting on the ground at this restaurant, which is located on the major road near the highway of Vadodara city. The aeroplane can carry 106 passengers at a time. Sensors have been fitted inside the aircraft, just like during a flight, to call the waiter. At the same time, working staff such as air hostesses and cabin crew have been hired.
