It might be the smallest country in the world, but Vatican City just got its own airline. As reported by Reuters, the maiden voyage departed from Rome and took flight today. The airline is designed to make travel easier for Catholic pilgrims who want to make their way to such religious sites as the shrine at Lourdes, the shrine at Fatima, Mt. Sinai, and more. The Vatican airline employs a chartered 737 that is run by Italy’s Mistral Air. The Vatican foresees close to 150,000 pilgrims using the airline each year, and it is committed to making air travel as easy and affordable as possible for those travelers.
Flights on the airline will include religious messages and religious entertainment, as well as a full crew who will be there to provide standard air travel service.
