<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cutting down on the amount of fuel we use is a hot topic of conversation – and one Indian airline has decided on a rather radical way of reducing its use.<\/p>\n
Go Air has announced that it will only employ female flight attendants from now on as they are lighter than their male counterparts.<\/p>\n
The airline believes that by hiring women it will save around £329,000 in fuel costs as they weigh between 33 and 44lbs less than men on average.<\/p>\n
"We are looking at all possible ways of cost-cutting to remain profitable," chief Giorgio De Roni told the Times of India.<\/p>\n
So, what other novel ways could airlines save on fuel?<\/p>\n
Removing heavy seats – passengers could stand up as they would on a packed bus, although I'm not sure how practical this is if you are travelling to Australia.<\/p>\n
Ridding the plane of its pilot and crew – airlines could reduce the weight of its crew by having them at a central base, flying the plane from a simulator machine.<\/p>\n
Ban luggage – passengers would have to enjoy their two-week break in Magaluf without changing their clothes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
