Avantis got instructions to buy chemical equipment abroad. With this in view Mr. Bunin, President of this firm went on business to Great Britain to place an order with a British firm.
He phoned the booking-office to book a seat for a plane to London. He found out that there were flights daily and that it would take him three and a half hours to get to London. Mr. Bunin booked a seat for the Boeing 747 jet-liner. The next morning he had arrived at Borispil airport by seven o'clock, an hour before the plane took off.
After the clerk had registered his ticket and passport, Bunin filled in a declaration and went to the waiting room. There were a few passengers there.
They were all waiting for the announcement to get on the plane. In ten minutes they heard the announcement," Attention, please. Will passengers for London join Flight 31 ?"
When Mr. Bunin got on the plane, the stewardess showed him his seat. At eight o'clock the plane took off. Although it flew at a high speed, the Passengers felt well. At 11.30 a.m. the plane landed at London airport.
