Now Ryanair wants passengers to STAND UP during flights
Ryanair wants passengers to stand during its flights so the budget airline can squeeze more people onboard.
The Irish air carrier plans to cut costs by making fliers perch on stools with seatbelts around their waists.
Chief executive Michael O'Leary has already held talks with US plane manufacturer Boeing about designing an aircraft with standing room.
Should the idea get the go-ahead from the Irish Aviation Authority, the airline plans to either order new jets or refurbish its existing fleet.
Ryanair estimates it would be able to pack in 30 per cent more passengers while slashing costs by 20 per cent.
Spokesman Stephen McNamara said: 'It would be vertical seating more akin to a stool and the person would still be strapped in.
'The seating would completely adhere to safety procedures.
'It's really early days but we're looking at a 20 to 30 per cent increase in passengers on commuter routes.'
Passengers would be charged less if the scheme, inspired by similar plans recently put forward by Chinese airline Spring, is approved.
It is the latest in a series of cost-cutting measures at Ryanair Toва ве4е изглежда прекалено......
