Easyjet curbs A319 seating capacity

LONDON - Easyjet is limiting its A319s to 150 seats over summer. This will allow the airline to operate flights with one crew member less.

150 instead of 156 passengers: Easyjet is blocking two seat rows in its A319s over the summer to operate the flights with three instead of four flight attendants.

The move increases "flexibility and resilience" in flight operations, the airline told British news agency "PA". Easyjet is struggling with tight staffing as the sector emerges from the crisis.
