Airway to Heaven?
The Pope starts an
airline.
Chief Pilot?
The Vatican may have territorial limits, its own post office and even a football tournament, but it has hitherto lacked what all real states offer: an airline.
That will be put right this month as the Vatican launches its first charter flights for pilgrims from Rome to Lourdes, with some of the world’s top religious destinations to follow, including the shrine of Fatima in Portugal and the shrine of the Madonna of Guadalupe in Mexico.
Mr Vaglio said the headrests on passengers’ seats would sport the logo “I’m Searching for Your Face, Lord”, while religious guides would be on hand, alongside the usual stewards.
Anyone collecting taxes on the profits made by the airline?
