Some airlines have banned the sale of certain seats, most notably the middle seat, to promote safe flights, while other companies require passengers to wear face masks to protect against the spread of the virus, and some airports have gone as far as installing full-body antiseptic machines for travelers.
In this context, French aviation engineer Florian Bargo shared his idea of a new airplane seat that could protect passengers from the risks of the Corona virus and provide the required social spacing, without the airlines having to redesign the aircraft cabins at an expensive cost.
According to the CNN website, the photos show that the Paraguay concept, called “Planbay”, consists of removable partitions on unused seats in economy class, which can be used temporarily during the epidemic.
And “Planbay” explains that, for the first time in recent history, air travel globally fell by 90% in a period of two months.
“Because of the uncertainty, we must be flexible and adaptable. Modern aircraft have effective air systems that prevent infection from one person to all passengers, but health authorities recommend a distance of one meter, and it is hardly achievable in economic class, even with a middle seat.” Empty”.
The goal of “Planbai” is to provide a “solution” to vacant seats to enhance social spacing, while providing this is cheap and inexpensive for airlines to adopt.
The proposed solution, according to the photos, provides a protection plate behind the seat with an additional plate between adjacent seats. It is designed to accommodate the empty middle seat so that passengers seated in the corridor and window can socially distance themselves from each other properly.
Depending on the site, installing these panels is easy, and the system can be easily maintained.
But the ambitious project collides with a recent warning from the International Air Transport Association “IATA” confirming that the application of “social divergence” on board the planes will increase the price of airline tickets by 43 to 54 percent.
IATA explained that social divergence measures would fundamentally transform aviation economics by reducing the maximum load factor to 62 percent, which is much lower than the industry’s 77 percent “average separation factor”.
In short, as the Daily Mail reports, with fewer seats available for sale on board, unit costs will rise sharply.
In this context, the International Air Transport Association said that it does not support the measures of social separation that leave the “middle seat” blank.
Instead, IATA supports “wearing face masks” gags “for passengers and crew while on board, as an essential part of a multi-level approach to biosecurity, implemented temporarily when people return to air travel.”
The IATA stated that the risk of transmission of the virus on board aircraft was “low”, even without special measures.
