Ryan Air Standing Passengers – yes you read that right . Ryan Air boss Michael O’Leary has said he is looking into the possibility of letting passengers who stand up during flights, to fly for free. Apparently the flights targeted will be those of 30 minutes and less.
The plan would need to be approved by the Irish Aviation Authority but the setup would see passengers with seats similar to trams or buffet cars on trains.
Ryan Air are now the worlds biggest international carrier and reported an increase in recent passenger numbers.
I don’t understand why Ryan Air are thinking of doing this for free, I would have thought it would have been something like a 70% discount.
I simply cannot see the play by Ryan Air standing passengers working. What about; 1) Seat belts – will there be any 2) That unbalancing jolt you get when you land 3) Emergency landings – Brace position? 4) Your life jacket is under your …. Seat?
I think some of the recent Ryan Air suggestions, such as the Fat Tax, charge for toilets etc. may have been a few very clever publicity stunts. Either that or they are very Interesting business models for the future of the airline … Let’s see!
Ryan Air Standing Passengers – will it Work?
