Published: 02 December 2010
Enterplanement is back and is looking to make one lucky fan a high flying star!
bmibaby is giving fans a chance to win a money can't buy prize: a year's worth of flights and the chance to perform onboard a bmibaby flight.
The airline's latest round of 'enterplanement' - live onboard entertainment - has a glamorous twist - bmibaby is looking to showcase Cardiff's talent onboard a flight and is holding auditions, a la Britain's Got Talent, in order to find the perfect candidate.
The person behind the winning audition piece will receive a weekend away in the destination of the flight where the performance is made, as well as a years worth of flights to anywhere on the bmibaby network!
To be in with a chance of winning, contestants need to show bmibaby what talent they have by sending video/sound clips, descriptions or photos of their act. Ten lucky finalists will then be selected and invited to audition live in Cardiff in front of bmibaby.
Enterplanement is a new form of in-flight entertainment allowing performers the opportunity to showcase their talents whilst offering passengers a taste of their destination ahead of their arrival. The purpose of enterplanement is to inspire passengers to try something different while on holiday, something that cannot be found in their guidebook. It also gives the performers the perfect opportunity to show case their talents and promote themselves.
bmibaby has already ran two successful enterplanement flights, the first flight was to Prague and the second to Venice. On the flight to Prague acclaimed soprano Vera Likerova from the Prague State Opera come onboard the aircraft to perform traditional operatic melodies.
The second enterplanement flight to Venice was of equal success This time there was a short theatre performance by the Teatro San Gallo in the departure lounge, for passengers to enjoy while awaiting their flight and in the air there was a spot of Vivaldi performed by violinist Matteo Mesini from the Collegium Ducale.
Julian Carr, managing director, bmibaby, said:
"We fly to a range of popular European destinations and wanted to look at ways in which we could bring those places to life. Rather than using conventional methods, we thought we could do something more interactive and actually have representatives of the destinations on a few flights!
"Ultimately we want our customers to enjoy the experience, and we hope that it gives them ideas and suggestions about what to do and see in a destination that they might not read in the standard tourist brochure or guide book."
