If you are a Tintin fan, this piece of news is going to make you want to run to Brussels, and take this flight. Brussels Airlines has introduced an aircraft called 'Rackham', a regular Airbus A320 aircraft.

The cool part? It's painted in a Tintin theme.

The aircraft's design is based on a shark submarine, built by Professor Cuthbert Calculus that featured in the book Red Rackham's Treasure. Tintin had used that submarine during his adventure.

The design also has Tintin's canine sidekick Snowy.

"Several Tintin designs were on the table during the planning phase of the project, but it became clear very soon that for both Moulinsart and Brussels Airlines, it had to be the shark, as no one expects a shark in the sky," the airline said on its official website .

On the inside of the aircraft, there are more themed drawings. It's also got Captain Haddock making an appearance.

The sad news is that the airline doesn't fly to India. However, just in case, you really want to fly on this Tintin airline, the website notes that the aircraft will be around till 2019.
