A six year old was a special guest on the new TUI Airways Boeing 737 MAX aircraft at Manchester Airport.

Milan Kumar of Bolton had sent Andrew Flintham, TUI UK Managing Director, a very detailed diary of his recent Marella Cruise holiday to Scilly, Italy, France and Spain.

Impressed by the young man’s creativity and overwhelmed by the feedback, as a way to find out more about his holiday Andrew invited Milan and his dad to help celebrate the launch of the new plane by joining him on-board.

Milan arrived at check-in ready for an action packed day being one of the first passengers to fly on the brand new 737 MAX plane.

He got to visit the cockpit, talk to the pilots and after a chat with Andrew was given a goody bag so that he could remember the day.
