“Feedback” from travellers on a plan to reconfigure plane cabins to add more seats has pushed WestJet to reverse course, the airline said in a statement Friday. WestJet says feedback and operational data about the scaled-back 28-inch seat pitch, which reduced legroom, prompted the airline to change its “cabin-configuration approach” on aircraft where seating had been “densified.” That means the airline will return to its prior “standard seat pitch” for economy cabins on recently reconfigured aircraft, the company said. Once an engineering certificate is received, WestJet says, it will remove one row of seats — converting all 180-seat planes to 174-seat layouts. #westjet #travel #news
