EasyJet plans to remove seats from its planes so that it can fly with less staff.
The number of passengers flying dictates the number of crew members required per flight, in line with rules from the Civil Aviation Authority. By removing the back row of seats on its A319 planes, easyJet will be able to fly with three crew members instead of four.
However, this would limit the number of passengers per flight to 150. In a statement, easyJet told the PA news agency that this was an “effective way” of operating its fleet this summer.
