EasyJet has claimed a Guinness World Record by staging the highest altitude carol concert during a flight from Gatwick to Geneva.
The concert by the ACM Gospel Choir lasted 15 minutes, taking place at an altitude of 32,800ft.
The choir collected funds for children’s charity UNICEF as part of a two month fund raising initiative by the airline which is running until February 6.
EasyJet communications director, Paul Moore, said:”We thought our passengers would enjoy this festive form of inflight entertainment and to achieve a Guinness World Records title at the same time as filling the plane with seasonal songs is the icing on the Christmas cake!
“Thanks to the fantastic ACM Gospel Choir, who sang so brilliantly onboard the flight today helping us to achieve this first for both easyJet and Guinness World Records.”
Mark De-Lisser, the choir’s director and vocal coach, said: “Singing is what we do and we have sung in some amazing, weird and even dangerous places but to be given the opportunity to sing some festive cheer to the on board passengers as we cruise at over 32,000ft is truly out of this world.
