Jet2 Launch “Greener Seats”

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 17:47:56 +0000

Low cost airline Jet2 has rather risibly launched the concept of ‘greener seats’. Claiming that new lighter seats on their Boeing 757´s, some of which fly to Lanzarote, are lighter – and will therefore use far less fuel whilst providing passengers with more comfort. As well as helping the airline to maintain low fares.

In a statement Jet2 claim that “The new seats mean less fuel is needed, helping the airline keep its fares as low as possible”. With each of their Boeing 757´s expected to experience a reduction in weight of around 500 kilos per plane. With Managing Director Ian Doubtfire claiming that this will help benefit the environment. Whilst ignoring the fact that their services will still generate substantial carbon emissions.

Two airlines flying tourists to Lanzarote from the UK and Ireland intend to increase the number of airports they operate from during 2010.

Aer Lingus, which already offers eight weekly flights from the main Irish airports of Dublin, Belfast and Cork, plan to add a route from Shannon to Lanzarote this year. The news comes as a result of meetings held between the Councillor for Tourism, Luis Arraez and the airline’s management. It also comes on the back of Lanzarote being voted for the eighth year running the number one destination for sun and sea by the Irish Travel Trade organisation.

Jet2, which already provides flights five times a week to Lanzarote from Edinburgh and Blackpool, is planning to add the East Midlands to its schedule. This will increase the number of seats from northern England offered by the low cost airline by 53%.
