Firm to turn jets into night clubs

CANBERRA, Australia -- One of the world's biggest dance music companies wants to turn jets from collapsed Australian carrier Ansett into airborne night clubs.

The British-based Ministry of Sound told Australian Broadcasting Corp. radio on Tuesday it had put a proposal to Ansett's administrator to buy four jets.

The company originally planned to begin an airline in Europe but said the Ansett collapse had provided a good opportunity to acquire high quality planes and staff.

Australian Transport Minister and Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson said he was uncertain about safety requirements for night clubs.
