Tarifas aéreas podem aumentar devido ao distanciamento social nos aviões

May 19, 2020 - Com as viagens aéreas a retomar para o verão, o afastamento social nos aviões é tema de debate. Companhias podem reduzir a lotação deixando vazios os lugares do meio, mas a maioria não terá rentabilidade sem aumentar os preços.

The International Air Transport Association (IATA), the body representing global airlines, has argued against keeping middle seats empty because of the damage flying two-thirds full would do to airline profitability.

IATA is instead recommending the wearing of face coverings for passengers and masks for crew as more effective measures to ensure the safety of all on board.

Despite the call for common standards, some nations are applying their rules just to airlines registered in their country, while others are applying them to foreign carriers, Reuters said.

There are no government-imposed measures in the United States, though all major U.S. airlines require facial coverings and several are capping the number of seats sold or leaving middle seats empty.

In Europe, airlines are largely resisting calls to leave the middle seat empty but have publicised other changes designed to reassure passengers.
