Undrar hur mycket pengar de sparar på detta egentligen, och hur mycket det är ett statement från BA. Det är väl 6, max 12 stolar per flyg, gånger 35 flygplan, kostnadsbesparingen kan inte synas vare sig per flygplan eller på nedersta raden på BAs bokslut. Och det är en engångskostnad, inte en löpande utgift.

Tar väl personalen 10 min att fälla fram/fälla bort borden för att konfigurera för rätt antal businessrader, så en viss löpande kostnad är det också

British Airways forced to cut A320neo capacity

To summarise a major engineering problem in one line, this has caused a problem. There is now too much weight at the very back of the aircraft


There are almost 50 airlines currently flying the A320neo and all of those which have gone with the ‘Space Flex’ interior are facing the same issue.

However, the presence of Club Europe causes an additional problem for BA compared to ‘one class’ airlines flying the same aircraft. Airlines operating the A320neo have been told to ensure that passengers are seated to ensure an even weight distribution. However:

in Club Europe, the empty middle seat makes it difficult to move weight to the front of the aircraft

the extra seats squeezed into the second half of the plane vs the front half also lead to additional weight at the back

In order to address this, it appears that BA is often having to block the last one or two rows of the aircraft
