Colombian airline considers introduce 'standing seats' on flights
VivaColombia is not the first airline to consider stand-up flights.
(Web Desk) – The Colombian airline is considering a novel way of making flying even cheaper — by removing seats and making passengers stand up during their flight.
According to foreign media reports, it’s not the first time an airline has floated the idea, but low-budget carrier VivaColombia says it was very interested in the radical idea, which could help drive down the cost of airfares and make them more accessible to more people.
“There are people out there right now researching whether you can fly standing up,” VivaColombia s founder and CEO William Shaw said.
“We’re very interested in anything that makes travel less expensive.”
VivaColombia is not the first airline to consider stand-up flights. In 2010, Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary expressed interest – and even doubted whether seat belts were necessary.
