Passenger goes viral after being only passenger on Etihad Abu Dhabi-Singapore flight

A traveler onboard a flight from Abu Dhabi to Singapore has gone viral after revealing on Twitter he was the only passenger on the entire plane.

Norwegian national Alex Svanevik, who runs a business in Singapore, documented his experience on social media, describing how he was personally welcomed to Singapore with the flight crew announcing he has touched down at Changi Airport by saying: ”Good morning, Mr. Alexander. Welcome to Singapore.”

Traveling with just the plane crew was a situation Svanevik described as “100 percent true and 120 percent surreal.”

According to Changi Airport’s flight information, Etihad Airways was the only commercial flight plying the route that day. The Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner has a capacity of up to 336.

Svanevik’s story, meanwhile, has sparked plenty of questions. After he first posted about the experience on September 28, several users replied to ask Svanevik how — and why — this happened.

“I’m alone on my flight to Singapore. The pilot makes all announcements starting with ‘Mr. Alexander,’” Svanevik tweeted.

As the tweet began spreading across the internet, many queried why an international flight would take off with just one passenger on board.
