A wealthy Indonesian man bought all available tickets for a flight, in order to avoid exposure to COVID – 19 and the risk of getting infected.
Richard Muljadi , a Jakarta-based member of the high society and famous for his extravagant lifestyle , posted a series of photos on his Instagram account in which he and his wife were seen traveling alone on a flight from Jakarta to Bali, operated by Batik Air.
As reported UPI , Muljadi bought as many tickets as possible for the flight, which featured 12 seats in business class and 150 in economy class, because he and his wife, Shalvynne Chang , have an excessive fear of catching COVID – 19.
He did not disclose how much he paid to keep the plane empty and get it to be a private flight, but wrote that the amount was “cheaper Than to charter a private jet.
Lion Air Group, which operates Batik Air, confirmed that Muljadi and Chang were the only passengers on the flight. The company said Muljadi had only booked two tickets in his name, but it was unclear if he had purchased other tickets in a separate reservation.
