EasyJet has found a novel way to tackle critical staff shortages.
It is removing a row of seats on some planes, allowing it to operate flights with fewer cabin crew.
By ripping out the back row of seats on A319 planes, the carrier can fly with three flight attendants instead of four based on CAA rules.
The airline will limit the number of passengers on A319 flights to 150.
“This is an effective way of operating our fleet while building additional resilience and flexibility this summer,” easyJet said.
EasyJet has-been forced to cancel thousands of flights due to staff shortages impacted by Covid-related sickness.
Its flight schedules are at 80% of pre-pandemic capacity, and expects to fly ‘near’ pre-pandemic levels this summer.
