Tiong Nam Group, a big logistics firm in Malaysia, this week introduced their plans to launch the nation’s first aviation-themed life-style hub to open on the finish of subsequent 12 months.
As you do.
Referred to as 1975 Avenue & Resort, the precinct will occupy over 19,000 sqm of built-in township with shops, together with a 38-room lodge with an outside synthetic seashore and lagoon surrounded by a resort-style backyard setting off these tropical vacation vibes amid the hustle and bustle of Johor Bahru Metropolis.

All appears fairly commonplace, proper?
Nicely, that is the place this odd-ball improvement takes a whacky flip.
Within the plans, there’s provision for 2 decommissioned Boeing 747 passenger jets to be parked proper by the seashore – that’s the faux seashore, simply to make it clear.
Though, going by one render of the idea supplied in a press launch, it depicts the tail part of 1 jet jutting out above the pool in what seems to look considerably like the place the aircraft has ended up after an emergency touchdown someplace within the South Pacific.
And simply so as to add just a few extra butterflies to the abdomen, its nostril is positioned inside one of many buildings lagoon-side, nearly prefer it’s overshot the runway and are available to relaxation within the terminal constructing.
I can’t assist however conjure up photos of scenes from ’80s cult film classics like Flying Excessive (Airplane! within the US) and Nationwide Lampoon’s Trip.
Roger, Roger?
I’m simply undecided if I may sit by the pool sipping on my Kamikaze or Intercourse On The Seaside with a scene like that in entrance of me simply hours earlier than I’ve to board my very own flight out of the Equator, a sector infamous for its unsettled climate.
Nonetheless, if the renders are something to go by, the rooms look first-class.
In response to the web site, the design and idea of 1975 Avenue & Resort “boasts its uniqueness for company to take pleasure in ‘time journey’ after they go to. Contained in the lodge, the all-suite cockpits and cabins function a ’70s classic and grandiose inside for a timeless aviation staycation escapade.”
This undertaking is touted as an unparalleled expertise “aboard” the place “passengers” can take a selfie from the cockpit, stroll beneath the wings of the plane and keep within the custom-fitted planes.
I feel I’ve already performed that flying Air Asia.
Anyway, the query stays, will a raunchy weekend away at 1975 Avenue & Resort rely in the direction of induction into the Mile Excessive Membership?
I assume we’ll have to attend till the tip of 2023 to seek out out, offering there aren’t any delays in getting this factor off the bottom.
