Emirates throws out the magazines

EMIRATES has decided to remove all paper from the seat-backs on its new Airbus A380s, in order to save weight and, therefore, fuel. The Dubai-based airline has ordered 58 of the superjumbos, the first of which will go into service at the start of August. Removing 2kg of paper from each of the 500 seats shaves a tonne off the plane's flying weight. Given that the plane’s maximum take-off weight is 560 tonnes, the measure seems tokenistic, but it’s a sensible sort of token. The Times reports that a five-tonne saving "would allow the airline to use the plane on extra-long routes, such as nonstop from Dubai to Los Angeles and San Francisco on the US west coast."

The information that is contained in the magazines and shopping catalogues will be put in the in-flight entertainment systems—bad news for less technically savvy passengers; good news for those wanting more leg room.
