VIRGIN'S latest airliner is being revamped after randy passengers
|
||
discovered a tiny cabin was just the place to join the Mile High Club.
|
||
|
||
The <20>130million Airbus 340-600 is fitted with a 5ft x 4ft mother and
|
||
baby room with a plastic table meant for changing nappies.
|
||
|
||
But couples keep wrecking it by sneaking in for a quick bonk.
|
||
|
||
Virgin has replaced the table several times even though the plane only
|
||
came into service a few weeks ago.
|
||
|
||
It is named Claudia Nine after sexy model Claudia Schiffer, 32, who
|
||
launched it in July.
|
||
|
||
Now Virgin bosses have asked Airbus to build a stronger table.
|
||
|
||
At first, German engineers responsible for the jet's interior were
|
||
baffled by the problem.
|
||
|
||
The table is designed to take the weight of a mum and baby.
|
||
|
||
One Airbus worker said: "We couldn't work it out. Then the penny
|
||
dropped. It didn't occur to the Germans that this might happen. It
|
||
caused great amusement."
|
||
|
||
The firm say the cost of strengthening the tables will be about <20>200.
|
||
|
||
A Virgin spokeswoman said: "Those determined to join the Mile High
|
||
Club will do so despite the lack of comforts.
|
||
|
||
"We don't mind couples having a good time but this is not something
|
||
that we would encourage because of air regulations."
|
||
|
||
The new Airbus is the world's longest airliner, with teasing slogan
|
||
"Mine is bigger than yours". Virgin is using it on flights to the Far
|
||
East and the US.
