Turkey has submerged a decommissioned Airbus A330 aircraft in the Gulf of Saros in the northern Aegean Sea in a bid to create artificial reefs and attract diving tourists.

After being towed by large rubber boats to the spot where it was submerged, the boats were then deflated to allow the huge plane, believed to be the world's largest airplane ever submerged for diving tourism, sink 30 meters below the sea surface.





It took about four hours for the crews to sink the 90-ton passenger plane. First diving took place on June 15, just a day after the passenger plane was lowered into the sea. The divers took footage of the sunk plane, which has a length of 65 meters and wing width of 60 meters.  



Turkish government said:

"With this project, the aim is to increase the underwater biodiversity off the coast of Kusadası and to further develop underwater tourism in the area. We expect some 250,000 domestic and foreign tourists per year to come here for diving"

The decommissioned aircraft, which made its first flight in 1995 and bought for just $100k or N36 million - after being retired last year, was brought to Edirne under the sponsorship of Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline Project .

It's not the first time that a plane has been sunk in Turkey to help to create artificial reefs and underwater tourism.

Three small-sized planes have also been sunk off the southern province of Antalya and its Kas and Kemer districts since 2009.

Look how long it took to sink the plane and it seems they were even begging the idiot to sink in the video. Just negodu how it was even forming ontop ordinary sink.

Useless slay plane.

[s]believed to be the world's largest airplane ever[/s]

Do small research, una no go gree, na copy & paste una sabi.

The largest plane ever was one useless US plane that flew for only 26 seconds in 1947 and crashed.
The largest functional plane ever still in use today is the Russian-built Antonov An-225 Mriya. It was even advertised in the movie 2012.

This Airbus 330 is not even amongst the Top 10 biggest planes in the world.
Hell, it is not even Airbus' biggest plane. The Airbus A380 is bigger.

I pity any tourist coming to this country.
Nigeria isn't peaceful, clean or organized.

We should have no business whatsoever setting up a ministry of tourism yet until all citizens have protection.

Thank you very much. Not tirelessly combing northern land in search for oil that may soon lose its relevance in international market.

Don't say that again please. Tourism can boom in areas where there is relative peace which is better than totally dismissing the sector.

A country that can't protect it's citizens, how can it protect tourist? — A good name is better than riches bro.
