London:
An airline, which gives couples the chance to make love in the clouds for 640 pounds, has been barred from operating its flights, after authorities ruled the in-flight action was "too distracting" for its pilots.
Mile High Flights, based in Gloucestershire, which was operating for the past two years, has now been refused a new licence by the Civil Aviation Authority in the UK, the 'Daily Express' reported.
The company has helped dozens of adventurous couples join the club in a specially created boudoir in its Cessna Grand Caravan plane.
Mike Crisp, 36, who launched the firm in 2008, said: "I'm not giving up on what was a popular business idea because someone at the CAA doesn't like the sound of what goes on in our plane. Joining the Mile High Club is something a lot of couples dream of and we were providing the chance to fulfil that particular fantasy. In our two years trading, we had people from all walks of life wanting to join the club, from 21st birthday flights to 60th birthday ones. It is a shame we've had to stop because of some prudish snobbery on the part of the CAA."
