Italy's Boeing 737 Mistral Air plane lands at Tarbes airport, southwestern France, to inaugurate the world's first airline for Catholic pilgrims launched by Vatican August 27, 2007. While some passengers only turn to prayer when jolted by turbulence, the Vatican made it standard on Monday by launching the world's first airline for Catholic pilgrims. Complete with Vatican logos on headrests and air hostesses' uniforms, the inaugural flight travelled from Rome's Fiumicino airport for the shrine of Lourdes in France. REUTERS/Laurent Dard (FRANCE)
