Abandoned Boeing 737 surprises many Bali tourists

Many tourists in Bali are baffled as to where the abandoned Boeing 737 came from since it sits in the midst of a field.

The substantial aircraft is situated not far from the popular Pandawa beach in a limestone quarry close to the Raya Nusa Dua Selatan Highway.

Some Balinese claim the jet was abandoned there by an ambitious businessman hoping to open a restaurant there.

The front of the aircraft has runway steps leaned up against it.

The plane has become a popular tourist destination, and a travel guide notes that it is difficult to find since it is situated close to a group of shipping containers.

It’s not the only decommissioned Boeing 737 on the island; additional abandoned aircraft, some of which are exploited as tourist attractions, have been sighted in various locations.

One of them has its wing resting on the wall of the local Dunkin Donuts, which is close by.

Additionally, nobody knows how it got there.

It is believed to have been there since 2007, and in 2018 it served as a location for events.

In 2021, a second decommissioned plane was seen perched atop a cliff at Nyang-Nyang beach.

It was intended to become a home.
