A SIX-YEAR-OLD boy is flying high after being invited to ride on a new TUI plane.

Milan Kumar, a pupil at Beech House, Bolton School, had written to the airline’s managing director Andrew Flintham about his recent holiday in the Mediterranean.

Impressed by his creativity, Andrew invited Milan and his dad to join him on-board the first flight of their new Boeing 737 MAX aircraft at Manchester Airport.

Milan, arrived at check-in ready for action and was invited to visit the cockpit and talk to the pilots.
