US Airways, no more movies on domestic flights
Tempe, USA - To contain costs after last increase of fuel's prices
(WAPA) - Passengers of US Airways, Arizona based American airline, would better bring a book on-flight.
That's what the airline's operators suggest after the hard and unusual decision to cut movies on domestic flights, to contain costs after last increase of fuel's prices.
US Airways says it will start removing in-flight entertainment systems on domestic flights in November to save about USD 10 million annually in fuel and other costs.
Spokesman Phil Gee says US Airways will cut the movie systems from about 200 aircraft, but it will keep movies in its widebody aircraft for international flights and trips to Hawaii.
US Airways says it will test a cheaper and lighter seat-back TV system later this year. (Avionews)
