TAXES FOR PROVEN PASSENGERS

In 1987, American Airlines withdrew an olive from each salad that it shared in the plane, thus reducing costs by $ 40,000 a year.

<! – ->

The savings were double: first, the company could extract tens of thousands of olives from its Sunday shopping list, and the other was easier.

Olives are certainly not big, but when it comes to weight and fuel economy costs, airlines do not joke, especially if we take into account the fact that planes consume liters of fuel per second

. Avon

Virgin Atlantic, for example, made thinner glasses and removed heavy business-class trays. In addition, chocolate and other candies replace light variants, redesignated meals and introduce a wider variety of drinks during night flights, when fewer people are drinking.

It is estimated that a weight reduction of half a kilogram can save 14,000 gallons of fuel a year. ] On the other hand, British Airways, which is doing everything possible to save fuel, has also introduced changes in service, but has started printing and shopping on thinner paper. United Airlines did the same thing, saving up to three hundred thousand dollars a year

Tomas Kuk's air division is also continually looking for ways to make aircraft easier, so they made trolleys and seats of much lighter materials. They no longer print airline bills, saving 420,000 rolls of paper and reducing the weight of the magazine from 261 grams to 200 grams. In addition, passengers can now only receive one pillow and one blanket, no more than once.

Ryanair, who had told staff that he "cared about his weight," had no reasonable idea of ​​reducing the weight of the plane,

. In addition, AirCanada expelled lifejackets in 2008 to lighten the plane, and worse still, the law allowed them to stand above the mainland

. Nippon Airways, which in 2009 urged passengers to take off before taking off, so that they can empty the toilet immediately.

And there is also the most brutal Samoa Air company that introduced a "fat tax" in 2013

"The aircraft works best when it is lighter.We do not sell seats, we sell weight, "then said general manager Chris Langton for" CNN. "

In general, that is why airlines limit the weight of luggage – the weight of the plane, 19659005] Researchers at MIT University calculated that every traveler who owns the phone costs $ 1.2 million for Southwest Airlines fuel costs, and that if everyone carried a laptop, this figure would increase to $ 21.6 million.
