Alexander Schoppmann is either very smart or very foolish; the world will know one way or another soon enough. Mr Schoppmann is the pony-tailed German entrepreneur behind Smokers' International Airways, or Smintair for short.
He is inviting potential investors to cough up €500,000 (£337,460) for one share in Smintair, with the first flight between Düsseldorf and Tokyo scheduled for March next year.
Smitnair is confident that it will make money even if the price of oil reaches $100 (£52.46) a barrel. The company predicts an annual profit margin of €50m per plane, provided it is totally booked.
"With only 138 available seats in each of our Boeing 747-400 and tens of millions of smokers in Europe and Asia, this is certainly not an impossible task," Smitnair says on its website.
