This airline wants you to keep standing during flight
Colombia- Egypt Today
In a seemingly strange business move, a budget airline is considering plans to remove all seats from its planes and make passengers stand.
According to Yahoo News, budget airline VivaColombia hopes that the move will make flight fares cheaper. If they do push through with it, the airline will be able to squeeze in more passengers into each flight, making air travel accessible to working class Colombians as well as holidaymakers.
VivaColombia's founder and CEO William Shaw was quoted as saying that they were looking into vertical travel options. He said: "There are people out there right now researching whether you can fly standing up - we're very interested in anything that makes travel less expensive."
However, civil aviation authorities are not welcome to the idea. The concept of vertical seating has been around for a while (since 2003). Despite being a dated concept, it has never been approved by any country so far. Colombian civil aviation director Alfredo Bocanegra said: "Anyone who had ridden on public mass transport knows that it's not the best when you're standing."
