An abandoned Boeing 737 is parked in the middle of a field in Bali for years and has become a popular tourist attraction now.

The aircraft is parked in a limestone quarry near the Raya Nusa Dua Selatan Highway.

There are plenty of theories about how the plant got there. The most popular theory is that the Boeing was originally installed by a wealthy businessman.

According to some locals, the ambitious entrepreneur brought the plane in parts and reassembled it there to start a restaurant inside it. However, it is rumoured that the man ran out of cash to finish the project and abandoned the plane in the quarry.

However, the theory has not been confirmed by authorities.

The plane has runway stairs propped up against the front entrance. It has no identification or branding on it.

The defunct plane is fenced off and only available to see from a viewpoint.

Oddly enough, there is another abandoned Boeing 737 in Bali, located next to a Dunkin' Donuts branch. The win of the plane rests on the wall of Dunkin' Donuts.

The aircraft is believed to have been there since 2007, with similar rumours suggesting that it was once set to become a restaurant. IT was sued as an event venue in 2018.

Well, that's not all.

Another plane was seen on top of a cliff at Nyang-Nyang beach in 2021. The plane was hauled to the top of a seaside cliff. It was installed with investment from Felix Demin who hoped to revive Bali's tourism after COVID-19.

Demin bought the disassembled plane when it was about to be sold as scrap metal to China.

While Demin expects it to become a popular photography spot and plans to convert the plane into tourist accommodation, some locals worry that it would spoil the seaside view.
