New Jet2 seats to benefit taller passengers
29.11.10
Jet2 is to make flying easier for taller passengers, by fitting all its aircraft with new ergonomically designed seats. The new seats are thinner than traditional aircraft seats, so there is now more space in front. In addition, the way they have been sculpted means there is more leg room, which allows taller customers to stretch their legs out. Jet2 has already fitted its two Boeing 757s with the seats. By May next year all of its 737s will also have the seats.
In order to get some feedback on the new design, Jet2 invited four members of the Tall Persons Club of Great Britain and Ireland to visit its base at Leeds Bradford Airport and give the seats a trial. The club’s director, Louise Ross-Foden, said she was extremely pleased to see an airline actually dealing with the needs of taller passengers. She added that the club had attempted to breach the issue with other airlines, but with little luck.
