More space, less weight: easyJet upgrades fleet — what this means for Mallorca travelers

Answer

Are easyJet's new aircraft seats better for the environment?

According to easyJet and the seat manufacturer, the new seats are about 20% lighter and 98% recyclable. The lower weight should reduce fuel use and cut emissions, which matters on busy routes such as those serving Mallorca. For an island economy that depends heavily on transport and tourism, that kind of efficiency is still only one part of a bigger picture, but it is a positive step.
