A Japanese airline took this unusual step to save fuel. I guess the environmental awareness and global economic uncertainty encouraged this decision.
All Nippon Airways implemented on October 1 this new way of saving fuel in their airplanes. The company asks passengers to urinate before boarding, so that the weight of their bladders is reduced and the aircraft is lighter at takeoff.
This measure will be tested for a month in 38 domestic flights (including Tokyo, Sapporo and Okinawa) and four international flights (Tokyo and Singapore ).
boarding rooms were equipped with information screens that ask travelers who remember going to services before boarding the plane.
is estimated that if 50% of the total passenger flights abide by this advice, the reduction of gas emissions carbon would be 4.2 tons per month.
The company assumed as part of a pilot program called "e-flight." Other initiatives such as the substitution of glass wine bottles for other plastic lighter and even the use of recycled wood chopsticks for eating have already been implemented.
