The Ambanis have reportedly chartered three Falcon-2000 jets to transport guests for the upcoming wedding of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant in Mumbai on Friday. Anant, the younger son of billionaire Mukesh Ambani, is set to marry his long-time girlfriend in what is anticipated to be one of the grandest Indian weddings in recent times.
Rajan Mehra, CEO of air charter company Club One Air, confirmed that the Ambanis have rented three of their Falcon-2000 jets for ferrying wedding guests and expects over 100 private planes to be utilized for the event. “The guests are coming from all over and each aircraft will make multiple trips across the country,” he informed news agency Reuters.
Significant traffic restrictions have been announced in Mumbai for the weekend. The wedding will take place at the Jio World Centre in Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), a central business district in Mumbai. From July 12-15, roads near the venue will only be accessible to “event vehicles” between 1 pm and midnight. Mumbai traffic police have issued a detailed advisory outlining the road restrictions for these three days.
The main wedding ceremony is scheduled for Friday, July 12, followed by a day for blessings (Shubh Aashirwad) and a reception over the next two days.
