The Italian company wants to make it possible for passengers to travel seated but standing at the same time. Is this the future of low-cost travel?
Traveling standing is the latest innovation of airlines. The idea had already come up in 2009 for the Chinese low-cost carrier SpringAirlines and in 2012, Ryanair President Michael O'Leary also made the same announcement for travels with a maximum duration of 90 minutes.
According to the newspaper The Telegraph, this time is the Italian company Avioninteriors that presented the latest model of seats that will allow passengers to be seated but standing at the same time. The Skyrider 2.0 was presented at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany, and is a bench similar to the saddle of a bicycle, but with a fully upright backrest. These seats also have a sloping surface that allows the rear passenger to place their feet.
"We are convinced that these seats will be used on commercial aircraft not immediately, but definitely will be a possibility on short-haul flights", a representative of the Italian company told the British newspaper.
Interesting week with several innovations to be implemented in airplanes, as in my last post: https://steemit.com/travel/@diogosantos/have-you-thought-about-traveling-in-the-basement-of-the-airplane-airbus-will-make-beds-available-from-2020
