Airlines have invested millions in entertainment. Passengers use it to see an plane icon slowly moving

by

In an episode of the mythical Seinfeld seriesElaine is exasperating from her boyfriend Puddy, who passes a whole flight looking fixed to the seat back. That image, a custom joke of the nineties, today makes sense again with a technological nuance: and we do not look at the vacuum, but yes – and I include myself – we can get hypnotized with a point on the screen, the flight map. Of rarity to viral tendency. It is not an isolated mania. In a report by The Washington Post They have portrayed the phenomenon Through the story of Nicole Sunderland, creator of content that divides her time between Washington DC and Phoenix. Sunderland admits that on a 14 -hour flight Catar keeps the map on “all the time”, although the flight assistants try to turn it off. His custom went viral in Tiktok along with dozens of passenger videos They presumed to “endure” without films, without music and without wifi, looking only at the progression of the plane on the digital globe. Others, like Manu, seminated, turned the practice into a public hobbie: while the screens showed the screens showed films and series, she recorded the route map For social networks. The map as king content. Beyond the meme, the numbers suggest that this obsession has mass backup. FlightPath3D, leading flight maps provider in more than 90 airlines, states that 68% of passengers Open the map at some point and that 20% sees it exclusively. On average, users spend 52 minutes in front of the map on backup screens and 18 minutes on synchronized mobile devices. In total, about 400 million passengers used the product last year. The airlines themselves reinforce the idea. Last year, Delta Air Lines launched a new flight map designed for people with low vision. In the statementthe company was categorical: the map is its number one content in Delta Studio, ahead of films, series and games. According to their figures, 45% of customers interact with it on each flight. Also, media specialized in aviation, as paxex.aerothey emphasize that the map is “the most popular content of the IFE (entertainment on board) for a reason”, and that the airlines already experiment with integrating it into other formats: from a persistent side tape on the screen to brief overlays at the end of a movie. Why hook so much? Testimonies point to several keys. For some, the map is a control instrument in the midst of aerial uncertainty: Sunderland, for example, monitors it especially during turbulence to check altitude and speed. For others, it is a light meditation form: seeing slowly advance the plane icon produces calm in an environment saturated with stimuli. “There are map fans,” says Duncan Jackson, president of FlightPath3D. “They love to see where they are, how much is missing, observe the progress of the flight plan. For some it is almost meditative,” duck. An academic study of the University of Lund (Sweden), made in collaboration with Etihad Airwaysreinforces the explanation from the design perspective. In interaction tests with 3D maps prototypes, passengers valued more those interfaces that offered clear signs of navigation and sensation of control, and reported greater orientation with three -dimensional views. Even the choice of command influenced: some users developed better with gyroscope than with tactile controls. In other words: the map experience responds to deep psychological and cognitive needs. Simple map to travel assistant. The fascination is not limited to the luminous point that advances on an ocean. The industry is expanding the concept. FlightPath3D has transformed The map on an interactive platform: now shows previous views of destinations, animated global routes, children’s maps with animals, tourist suggestions and even Uber prices to reach the center once landed. In addition, Cathay Pacific He launched in 2024 “My Journey”an experience that combines an animated journey of the journey with information on services on board and points of interest. For its part, Panasonic Avionics has developed ARCthat integrates data on different plane screens so that the progress of the flight accompanies the passenger even when watching a movie. And in the field of accessibility, Delta has marked a milestone With its high contrast map, extended iconography and suitable palettes for Daltonics, which in the future will incorporate voice narrative with real -time updates. What began as a simple line chart in the eighties has become a sophisticated product that aspires to be inclusive, personalized and profitable for airlines. An obsession with future. The attractiveness of the map is not a passenger fashion. It is explained by the combination of three tendencies: the search for calm in overloaded environments of stimuli, the desire for spatial control and orientation, and the technological evolution of the product itself. In times of excess options – hundred hours of cinema and television in each seat – the map offers something more basic and powerful: the certainty of knowing where we are. As the Washington Post points outfor some travelers looking at the map is as necessary as tieding your belt. And as Delta acknowledgesit is already the star content of your digital offer. Puddy may seem eccentric in Seinfeld, but three decades later, it turns out that he simply advanced to the trend. Image | Freepik Xataka | Ryanair is abandoning small airports in France. There is an unexpected beneficiary: a Spanish airline

240,000 less passengers and 70% less in one of them

by

He threatened and fulfilled. The regional airports of Spain are living the first summer since Ryanair announced their march from a good handful of them. And they have evidently felt a good number of passengers with a total sum of 240,000 travelers less in the months of April, May, June and July. These are the figures. 240,000 passengers less. It is the total number of travelers who have left the airports in which Ryanair has reduced the number of its operations Or, directly, they have closed them completely. It is, therefore, 6.6% less passengers in these airfields. The figures, of course, are varied depending on the location. Especially if we take into account that in some Ryanair airports it barely reduced its operations about 5% but in others it went completely. This is its airport impact to airport. Asturias. Asturias airport is one of those who has not felt Ryanair’s march. According to AENA’s data (All those who appear here are yours), the airfield has increased the number of travelers between April and July of this year by 2.3%. In total, in those four months 743,454 travelers accumulated, for the 726,728 of the previous year. Of course, Asturias was one of the airports less affected by the company’s departure because, as we see, it already had a good traveler base and also the Irish withdrew routes that led to 11% less travel volume. Jerez de la Frontera. In Jerez, Ryanair completely closed its operations and that has been significantly noticed between April and July. Last year, Jerez touched the 400,000 travelers but this year it has remained slightly below 364,000. This has meant a 8.4%drop. The impact, above all, has been felt in national connections. Facing outside, in fact, Jerez de la Frontera has received more travelersincreasing by 1.8% compared to the previous year. However, collapse in national traffic has reached 17.1%. Santiago de Compostela. Although the reduction of Ryanair’s operations was 28% in the case of Santiago de Compostela, the fall in the number of travelers has been important in an airfield where connections both inside and outside Spain are important due to the amount of Tourism that attracts the Camino de Santiago. The airport moved 1.48 million passengers between April and July and was in full growth (almost 10% more than in the same period of 2023). This years has remained slightly below 1.24 million passengers (with Holy Week also in April instead of March, as in 2024) which represents a fall of 16.5%. And the fall in international flights exceeds 26%. Santander. Another of the airports where the company’s march has barely felt. Of course, its dependence is great since it has barely reduced its operations by 5% but the Irish offer, right now, More than half of the flights that are operated in the airfield. The fall, therefore, has been minimal (0.5%) but the health of Santander airport He was previously committed. In 2024 he touched the 422,000 passengers (about 2,000 passengers more than this year) between April and July but the fall compared to 2023 was 11.6%. It is possible that Holy Week in April this year has helped make up the results. Valladolid. Without a doubt, the most affected airport. Next to Jerez de la Frontera, Valladolid the other airport in which Ryanair closed operations completely. This has left the aerodrome wounded and all the services that meet in it, Like the cafeteria. The problem for Valladolid airport is that its attractiveness for international tourism is lower than Jerez and its train connection with Madrid is good. That has made him lose 68.2% of passengers. The fall is so pronounced that the volume of national passengers has fallen by 79%. In the four months mentioned, the airport only moved 23,933 people, for the 75,173 travelers of the previous year. Saragossa. Another of the airports where Ryanair’s impact has not been felt very strongly. The airfield lost 20% of the Irish traffic with their march but the total volume of passengers has increased by some more travelers. In total, the 264,000 passenger barrier has been exceeded, with a growth of more than 5%. In this growth, the new routes or the increase in frequency in those operated by Vueling and volotea. In fact, the growth of national trips has grown by 13.9% although the total volume remains below internationals. Here, Wizz Air has opened a route with Rome and Air Horizont has launched a package called “Escapadas”less frequently but with a good handful of destinations. Vigo. The big exception. Ryanair’s departure reduced the company’s operations by 61%. However, it is one of those cases in which the percentages deceive because their presence at the airport was not as important as in many others mentioned in this list. That has implied that, although the Irish have reduced operations (With threat of sanction through)Vigo’s airport is the one that has grown the most from this list. In total they moved 379,578 travelers, for the 320,719 of the previous year. A rise of 18.2%. In this growth, international flights have helped with a 53.8% growth and almost 18,500 passengers for the 12,022 of the previous year. But, especially for the increase in national flights. There has been just over 308,000 passengers to 378,170 travelers. In recent months, Binter has increased its flights to the Canary Islands. Key months. The election of the months of April, May, June and July is not accidental. For airlines, The summer season begins with Holy Weekaware that good weather increases trips. This season, in fact, remains until October. At the moment, the results of Ryanair’s march have been disparate but they have already made it clear that in the global computation we can expect a reduction in the volume of passengers. It remains to be seen, once October arrived, how long the expected fall is.

Ryanair workers have a good reason for passing passengers with too big suitcases: collect more

by

When we approach the shipping doors, it is quite common that part of the airline team is responsible for looking sideways at passengers to see if We comply with the regulations of luggage and we do not carry excessively large bags in the cabin. In addition to because it is part of their work, Ryanair employees also have another motivation behind: collect more. The airline pay your employees 1.50 euros For each suitcase that detects that it does not meet the rules, a practice that the company’s own CEO itself, Michael O’Leary, not only defends, but even considers expanding. Why this happens. The Irish airline has confirmed that this economic incentive pays for its staff for catching passengers that carry luggage that exceeds the allowed dimensions. Those who catch can fall a sanction of up to 75 euros for billing it in the cellar. O’Leary justifies This policy as a way to “eliminate the scourge of passengers with excessive luggage.” The numbers that explain the business. Each employee can win up to 80 euros per month for this practice. Although it should be said that, according to the company, more than 99.9% of travelers comply with luggage standards. It should be said that the difference between what Ryanair pays to its employees for detecting a suitcase and what charges the passenger for sanction (up to 75 euros) is a considerable margin that contributes in part to the spectacular results that the airline has had. And is that Up to 820 million euros in the last quarter, shooting their shares 4.7% in the stock market after exceeding all forecasts. The growth of 7% in auxiliary income, where these luggage penalties are included, has been key next to the 21% rise in average rates up to 51 euros per ticket. Ryanair is not the only one. This practice makes employees at the boarding door also act as a kind of luggage guards. It is not for less, since if in addition to making passengers to comply with the regulations, they take a pinch, better than better. Todo esto teniendo en cuenta además que Ryanair anunció que would expand the dimensions of the permitted suitcases in cabin. Although the truth is that the practice is not exclusive to Ryanair: other airlines like Easyjet have also implemented similar schemes Through subcontracted companies such as Swissport, which pays 1.20 pounds for each pillada suitcase. The workers, who usually charge around 12 pounds per hour according to The Guardian, also face tense situations with passengers, since no one makes it funny to have to pay more just when you are going to ride on the plane. The context of the sector. Ryanair is now in a sweet moment, especially knowing that it has become the main airline in Spain by passengers with a growth of 20.6% this last quarter and maintains this country as its second most important market after Italy, with income of 772 million euros. The European Parliament Press so that airlines allow luggage in cabin and hand for free, but O’Leary predict that this proposal “will not prosper due to the lack of space in the airplanes.” According to its latest financial report, the airline operates with virtually 94% occupation flights, where approximately half of the passengers can carry two packages and the other half only one. And now what. Ryanair does not rule out increasing the incentives paid to its employees for detecting excess bulk, although O’Leary expects detections to decrease in the coming years as passengers adapt better to the standards. Meanwhile, the airline benefits from a European market with a limited capacity until 2030. “We will be at least five years old, until 2030, with the constrained offer,” Neil Sorahan accountfinancial director of the airline. This allows them to keep high rates and strict policies. For travelers, this means that we will have to take special care in the boarding gates, especially to comply with the regulations and not take an unpleasant surprise later.

Ryanair has left several death injured in Spain. Now we know that he has more passengers than ever

by

Ryanair is not weighing, at all, his departure from some Spanish airports. The Irish company is flying more than ever in our country, as certified by the data related to the first semester. The company accumulates more passenger volume in Spain, is one of the airlines that grows the most and expands its distance from competitors. More passengers, more. In the first semester of 2025, Ryanair has accumulated in Spain 32.64 million passengers. It is a 6.6% higher than that registered in the same period last year when it accumulated 30.63 million passengers. It is, with great difference, the airline that moves more traffic from our country. The data collects them AENA which also points out that in the first semester more than 181 million passengers have moved at Spanish airports, the figure is 4.7% higher than that registered in the same period of 2024. Leaders. The data of the first semester of the year also leave other readings. Ryanair has added more than two million passengers compared to the same period of 2024. No other large airline has grown so much in our country in absolute terms of travelers. In fact, the variation with respect to last year is 6.6%, lower than the sustained in previous semesters and also lower than other companies Lowcost such as Easyjet (+13%), Binter (+8.6%) or Wizzair (+22.8%). However, none of them approaches the numbers of the Irish company. A year ago, Ryanair surpassed Vueling in 8 million passengers in a single semester. Today that difference is closer to the 10 million passengers since the Spanish airline has only grown in some 400,000 travelers compared to the first semester of 2024. In full withdrawal. Growth is even more striking if we consider than Ryanair has closed 12 routes in Spain And now offer 800,000 places less than only a few months ago. The company fulfilled its threat to leave some regional airports as a demonstration of force before the fine that the government imposed For the collection of hand luggage, practices that the Executive considers abusive. At his departure, Ryanair prioritized regional airports. In them, their business volume was low and, in fact, maintained some routes for Commercial agreements with local entities. He knew that retiring from these spaces could cause almost deadly damage to some airfields. To show that of Valladolid that in the first half of the year he has registered 41,725 passengers between January and June, about 56,000 passengers less than in the same period of 2024 when 100,000 travelers were toured in six months. The Lowcost. The other striking fact, which we have already advanced, is the growth of the Lowcost in front of any other company. Regarding the same semester of 2024, no airline grows both in passengers and the cheapest options. Airlines that make greater reach flights are more sensitive to geopolitical fluctuations and facilities (or not) to travel. Iberia, for example, Avaca Its 0.7% setback to a fall in travelers to North America. On the contrary, Eurowings (Lowcost from Lufthansa) and Transavia (from Air France-KLM) have also grown in Spain more than 4%.

Ryanair does not want indisciplined passengers. And besides leading them to trial, they will put their own fines

by

Ryanair will apply a penalty of 500 euros to any passenger expelled from a flight for misconduct before takeoff. The measure seeks to be a deterrent element in the face of behaviors that interrupt the trip of the rest of the passengers and compromise security. An airline spokesman He explained that “it is unacceptable that passengers suffer unnecessary interruptions by the behavior of a single disruptive passenger.” The fine cannot be specified as such, so it is presented as the most expensive complementary rate of Ryanair. In detail. The Data from the European Union Air Security Agency They say that the safety of a flight is compromised every three hours for the bad behavior of a passenger. In addition, 70% of these cases involve some kind of aggression. Yes, but. The 500 euros are just the beginning. If there is a diversion of the flight because of the passenger, the demands shoot because Ryanair has an active legal persecution policy to recover all the associated costs: Extra fuel. Landing rates. Accommodation for the rest of the travelers in an extreme case. Replacement crew. Even on -board sales. And that persecution translates into concrete demands that go beyond 500 euros: The background. Michael O’Leary, CEO of the airline, already warned at the time about the increase in altercations on board, especially on routes to holiday destinations. In fact, proposed to limit alcohol consumption In airports to two drinks per boarding cards. The measure of their own fines as extra rates, in addition to the subsequent legal persecution, is the definition of a problem that affects the entire industry and that even affects travelers of other flights, which see the “delayed” poster appear because of the energumenos.

Naples Airport has rejected a Boeing 787 with 200 passengers on board for a single reason: two meters long

by

Two meters. Not one more, not one less. Those have been the culprit that Naples airport had to reject a flight with origin in Philadelphia. Everything seemed to work without shocks on the morning of June 3. Until the passengers who had to land in Naples received the unpleasant surprise that they would land in Rome. The reason: the plane was too big for the airport. Six meters. That is the distance that differentiates a Boeing 787-8 from a Boeing 787-9. Both They are part of the Dreamliner family (which is also part of the Boeing 787-10) and are common on transatlantic flights since their autonomy widely exceeds 10,000 kilometers and have more than 200 places for passengers. The size in all cases is 60 meters but its length grows as the last name number increases. Thus, the Boeing 787-8 measures 57 meters long but the 787-9 already extends to 63 meters long. The 787-10 reaches 68 meters long. A small (big) difference. Those six meters long suppose a problem that is called 8 RFFS category airport (Rescue and Fire Fighting Services, for its acronym in English). This name refers to the aircraft that an airport can manage, according to the emergency and fire extinction services that it has at your disposal. In this case, the 8 RFFS category allows aircraft to be operated with a maximum size of 61 meters long. That is, it can handle the Boeing 787-8 but not the Boeing 787-9, which exceeds in two meters the dimensions established by the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization). In order to manage the landing of a Boeing 787-9 it is necessary for the airport to have a 9 RFFS category where airplanes are allowed to land up to 76 meters long. Better to Rome. This scenario did not contemplate in American Airlines when they decided that, for operational reasons, a Boeing 787-9 had to operate the Philadelphia-Naples route that the airline keeps open. Usually, this journey is made by a Boeing 787-8 (smaller) since They open the route last summer. In fact, in the press release of the Naples airport it is specified that the plane used will be the smallest of the Dreamliner line. But, as we said, last week American Airlines decided to send Naples a Boeing 787-9. When the plane It was 70 miles of his destiny he had to turn around and deviate to Rome. The problem was evident, from Naples they reported that they could not host the flight because their category prevents it. The plane was too big. Specifically, the two meters that exceeds an airport with 8 RFFS category can operate it. By bus. They explain in Business Insider that passengers had to cover the distance between both airports by bus, on a trip that took them from two to three hours, or by plane, in Routes operated by Ita Airways. The company apologized and alleged the American media that “operational limitations” had occurred that had prevented the plane in southern Italy. In CBS They point out that 231 passengers and 11 crew members who received, for any response from the company “apologies for the interruption of the trip” were traveling on board the aircraft, in a statement rescued by the media.

Goodbye to the windows for passengers, hello to the immersive screens

by

A fuselage that seems sculpted by the wind. Not a single cabin window. And a clear objective: revolutionize private aviation. He Phantom 3500 It is not a conventional plane And that shows from the first glance. Otto Aviation has been perfecting this design for years, first with the Celera 500L as a test bench, and now with a model that wants to go further. On paper, what it proposes is not less: a plane capable of radically overcoming other comparable executive jets. The technical key of the project is the Laminar flow. Otto proposes an approach based on perfectly profiled surfaces, designed so that the air moves better. This aerodynamic optimization seeks to reduce resistance and improve flight efficiency. According to the companyone of its great objectives is to reduce fuel consumption significantly comparable Jets. In combination with sustainable fuels (SAF), Otto aspires to achieve a much lower carbon footprint. No windows, but with digital views and very real ambitions The operational figures that OTTO handles point high. The Phantom 3500 aspires to an autonomy of up to 6,482 km, an 51,000 feet cruise altitude (15,544 m) and a sustained consumption of 435 liters per hour. This places it, on paper, below models such as Bombardier Challenger 350 or the CITATION Latitudewhose average values ​​of consumption are around 1,135 liters. Part of the advantage is in its large surface wing and optimized profile, which improves support and allows to operate from shorter clues than usual. Inside, it also uncheck. The cabin completely dispenses with passenger windows. Instead, Otto implements a system called “Super Natural Vision”, Based on high -definition screens that show the outer environment in real time. The objective is not only of stimulant. The civil sphere is not the only one in which Otto wants to leave a mark. In previous materials, the company has suggested military applications, especially in logistics or deployment missions from remote tracks. He has also collaborated with Darpa agency in several projects. In parallel to technical development, the company works with FAA to obtain the certification of the plane. Paul Touw, CEO of Otto Aviation, recently declared Flightglobal That the first flight could occur in 2027, although the entry into service is not expected before 2030. To expedite the processes and contain the costs, Otto is integrating simulation tools developed by Galorath, which allow estimating technical and economic impacts before moving on to production. However, as we point out above, the Phantom 3500 is not part of zero. Is the direct evolution of Celera 500L, a platform that served as a technological demonstrator. The design has been deeply reformulated, but the base principle remains intact: maximize efficiency without giving up real benefits. If you get your goals, Otto will not only put a new type of plane in the air. It could inaugurate a whole new category in executive aviation.

The reclining seat is the great battle among plane passengers. A Neozylandesa airline believes to have the solution

by

If you fly, it is likely that it has happened to you more than once. You are comfortably sitting in your seat, buckled belt, headphones in the ears and a good book in the hands, and suddenly (plas!) The back of the passenger in front It is about you. Your vital space is smiling. You no longer move with the same comfort. And the worst thing is that little you can do to solve it. After all, the seats are designed for that: recline. In New Zealand there is an airline that has had An idea to avoid that kind of situations. Its proposal is still limited (it applies in the premium class), but it provides at least one solution to a problem that is usually a source of infinite discussions (and even fights) on the planes. THE WAR OF THE SEATS. A year Heather Poole, a hostess of an American airline and author of A book in which he speaks of his 15 years of experience with “crazy passengers at 35,000 feet high,” he published on the CNN website An article loaded with irony about one of the big problems with which the cabin staff fought during flights: the fights triggered by the reclining seats. “In addition to the lack of Wi -Fi or a damaged entertainment system, flight assistants listen to more complaints about the reclined seats than about anything else,” Poole explains Before recounting the case of a passenger who came to threaten to punch if the traveler in front of him continued to lower his seat. “A reclining armchair can be reclined, and no one can do anything about it”, Warns the flight attendant. “If you get it or threats to hit someone you will be you who ends up expelled.” And Air New Zealand arrived. The New Zealand flag airline, Air New Zealand, has decided to take advantage of the modernization of part of its fleet to try a way to end the fights for reclining seats. The company, based in Auckland, has taken advantage of the first “reconditioning” of an aircraft 787-9 Dreamliner to replant the design of the cabins, including among other issues new seats. The aircraft includes the Business Premier, Business Premier Luxe, Premium Economy and Economy Business category. Each has its peculiarities but if we talk about the subject that worries Poole (and the rest of the world’s hostess) the interesting is the Economy Premium. In addition to adding some lateral “wings” to the seat to offer greater privacy to the passengers and expand the storage space, the New Zealand company has sought ways to ensure that if a traveler wants to bow his neck, he does not finish a few centimeters from the passenger’s chest behind him. “All seats have a fixed exterior housing, which means that their reclines does not affect the person behind,” duck. Is it the definitive solution? It is of course an interesting idea for a problem that, although it may seem anecdotal, alters the flight experience to many passengers and forces intervene often to cabin staff. The concept of reclining seat with an exterior housing that prevents the backrest from going backwards It is not new (at least in trains) and Air New Zealand limits it to its Premium Economy class. The tourist class seats of its adapted 787-9 are simpler and the company does not specify that they incorporate any novelty related to the inclination. With all the bet is interesting because the airline wants to continue modernizing its 787-9. The first of its reconditioned aircraft will be released on an Auckland-Brisbane flight on May 19, but the company is already working on a second ship in Singapore and hopes to have seven units ready for the end of the year. “The 14 Boeing 787-9 of the Air New Zealand fleet will be updated to the new cabin configuration by the end of 2026,” They clarify From the company. How serious is the problem? “The main problem is that airlines are piling too many seats in a small space. Do you remember the leg space?” Ironiza Poole. Your comment slips a key idea: optimization does not respond only to a matter of comfort, it is also (and above all) an economic issue. Airplanes have a limited capacity and conditioned by the manufacturer, but to the extent that their squares are redesigned by airlines can earn space, travelers … and money. The issue is so relevant that there are airlines that have op reduce degrees of inclination of your seats or limit Its rotation. In the sector even The idea is handled to directly install immobile seats that prevent any degree of adjustment. That without even more radical ideas, such as that of the Spanish entrepreneur Alejandro Núñez and his two height seator the places for passengers They fly standingraised by some Low Cost. Goodbye to the fights? That is the goal. And one of the advantages that a priori offer the seats of the new Air New Zealand aircraft. They are not the only ones who have sought ways to put some “peace” among the people who have to share flight hours in a limited space. There are companies that have come to design Kits that allows the front seat to be tilted and It is not so much Tiktok circulated a trick more than questionable to prevent the passenger from front to incline our lap: activate the air conditioning and guide it towards it.

Spirit Airlines will prevent passengers with bare feet, scantily clad clothing or offensive tattoos from accessing their planes

by

New York – The American low-cost airline Spirit Airlines, which filed for bankruptcy last Novemberis generating headlines now with his new rules on tattoos and clothing on board that can ground more than one passenger. The new “code” prohibits barefoot passengers from traveling on Spirit Airlines planesthose who wear clothing that reveals too much, exposes private parts or display tattoos that are offensive, lewd or obsceneaccording to the media that have reported the news, such as CNN or the KSAT channel. Those who do not wear shoes or wear “inappropriate clothing” will not be able to set foot on the plane.the media say. These measures are part of the new rules for passengers, which They not only cover how the traveler is dressed but also what they have drunk before boarding. (alcohol or drugs), if he suffers from a contagious disease or if his behavior is violent or disorderly and interferes with the work of the crew. In this regard, it establishes that the passenger must be willing or able to sit in a seat and with the seat belt on during the flight. The media remember that months before the update of these regulations Spirit Airlines had prevented two young passengers from taking a flight who were wearing shirts with their midriffs exposed. and a young man wearing a hoodie with a printed legend containing a curse word. In the middle of this month the company based in Dania Beach (Florida) announced the elimination of about 200 positions working in various departments with the aim of reducing expenses after declaring bankruptcy last November. In an attempt to cut costs, the airline had previously laid off hundreds of pilots and had also offered licenses to stewards and flight attendants, in addition to reducing its network and reaching agreements to sell part of its fleet of Airbus aircraft to raise funds. Spirit Airlines is in financial crisis since Jetblue broke a purchase agreement for $6.6 billion dollars; previously, he US Department of Justice had opposed the purchase agreement for violating antitrust laws.
