Ryanair Holdings may offer free flights to passengers willing to stand up during flights of less than 90 minutes, Sky News reported, citing chief executive Michael O'Leary.
Ryanair is asking Boeing about converting planes or delivering a new fleet with a section of "vertical seating"' that would allow passengers to stand or to sit on bar stools similar to those in trains' dining cars, Sky reported Mr O'Leary as saying in an interview.
Mr O'Leary said he got the idea from a similar concept that China's Spring Airlines is reportedly looking at, Sky News said, adding that the airline said any move would have to be approved by the Irish Aviation Authority.
At 2pm today Ryanair shares were trading down 2 per cent at €3.17.
