I stumbled across the idea when I was looking (into) ways to reduce the flight ticket price, Fairuz Romli, who authored the report atlantic city hotels and casinos published in the IACSIT International Journal of Engineering and Technology, tells CNN by email.
Using the popular Boeing 737-300 as an example, his study calculates that a standing cabin would lead to a 21% increase in passenger capacity while dropping ticket prices by as much as 44% among full-service airlines.
I m a frequent flier and most of the times during domestic flights, it feels like the flying time is very short that the aircraft is already descending for landing before you can unfasten your seatbelt after takeoff, he says.
The SkyRider (pictured top), developed by Aviointeriors S.p.A. and unveiled at an expo in 2010, is a perching saddle, while Ryanair once flirted with the idea of a flat-padded backboard with a seatbelt over the shoulders.
atlantic city hotels and casinos In 2012, Ryanair CEO Michael O Leary floated the idea with his characteristic bluntness: The problem with aviation is that for 50 years it s been populated by people who think it s a wondrous sexual experience when it s really just a bus with wings.
From our point of view, passengers will not accept to travel that way. Even if such a seat would pass certification tests, we would see it as a great sacrifice for passengers in terms of comfort and living space, even for very short flights.
The idea seemed to be nixed before it was properly analyzed because I couldn t find any published study about it, he says. After some initial study, it appears that this is not a bad idea after all and has some potentials to be highlighted.
His study concludes that while savings increase as distances get longer, the concept is best optimized on short-haul flights, with tolerance for standing depending on the age and health of individual passengers.
If the option available to reach my destination is either sitting on a bus or train for six to seven hours or standing for an hour and half on an aircraft, I believe there are many people who would opt for the latter if the flight ticket price is reasonably low.
The only major challenge is to obtain the approval from the aviation authorities and if the concept atlantic city hotels and casinos has proven to satisfy all necessary requirements in terms of passenger safety, there shouldn t be much problem for it to become reality.
