Virgin cuts business price and leg room
From: The Australian March 01, 2010 7:26AM
VIRGIN Blue is introducing an economy section for business people "who don't want to put their hands in the pockets" but will cut the amount of leg room available to passengers in the cheap seats.
Virgin, which has moved away from its low-cost roots to become what it calls a new world airline, says it is not getting any value from the extra leg room it gives budget travellers, the Australian reports.
The airline has already introduced premium economy seats with perks such as food and drinks as well as lounges and frequent flyer points in a bid to attract business travellers.
And it is poised to launch a mobile phone application that allows flight bookings, changes and check-in, and gives Blackberry users extra functions.
Virgin chief executive Brett Godfrey said the airline's low-cost seating provided more room than that of its competitors.
"We don't seem to get a lot of value for that, so we've seen the ability to lower our costs further by putting in more seats," he said.
"It would be comparable in terms of seat pitch. But then having forward of the emergency exits but aft of the premium economy section a traditional economy-type product for business people who don't want to put their hands in their pockets."
