The Vatican has launched an airline to carry pilgrims to destinations such as Lourdes and the Holy Land.
"The charter flights for pilgrims, which will eventually take passengers to the beloved shrines at Fatima, Jasna Gora, and Santiago de Compostela as well as Lourdes, are part of a 5-year agreement between Mistral Airlines, a small Italian carrier; and Opera Romana Pellegrinaggi, the office of the Rome diocese that provides support services for pilgrims. Eventually the program calls for pilgrimage flights to the Holy Land and to the shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico.
The flights will use small jets that have been refurbished with quotations from the Scriptures on the walls of the passenger compartment."
