Monarch Airlines, a British company, is already ripping out their reclining seats and putting in seats that ensure more room for the passenger behind by remaining upright, according to Monarch’s marketing boss Tim Williamson.

All airlines should ban reclining seats because they cause more problems than anything else, according to a cabin crew member.

The comments come from other airlines after Monarch announced it will be introducing new fixed, upright seats on all its Manchester flights.

The airline is hoping the new non-reclining seats will put an end to arguments when passengers suddenly put their chairs back into other people’s space.

And one experienced cabin crew member agrees with the redesign.
Ninety per cent of Monarch passengers voted to ban them, he said.

Europe’s biggest carrier, the budget line Ryanair, is among others getting ready for the change.

Short-haul airlines are gradually reducing the space between all their seats so they can pack more passengers into jets.
