An airline has launched a competition to find a couple who will participate in the world’s first airborne same-sex wedding, today.
Global carrier SAS Scandinavian Airlines will host the ceremony on one of their Airbus A340s between Stockholm and New York on 6 December.
Although weddings have been performed on flights previously, it is likely to be the first same-sex wedding of its kind.
Robin Kamark, Chief Commercial Officer of SAS, told PinkPaper.com: “SAS is the national airline of three of the world’s most liberal and progressive countries in the world, especially when it comes to LGBT rights, so we feel this is a natural celebration of love.”
The chosen couple will get business class return flights to New York, three nights’ luxury accommodation in Manhattan, plus a second set of honeymoon flights to Los Angeles.
If the winners are based in the UK, connecting flights to Scandinavia will also be included in the prize.
Same-sex marriage is fully legal in Norway and Sweden, although whether the marriage is recognised by the winners’ home country depends on current legislation there.
