US Airways pulls the plug on movies
NEW YORK – In another blow to passengers, US Airways says it will start removing in-flight entertainment systems on domestic flights in November to save about US$10 million annually in fuel and other costs.
Spokesman Phil Gee says the movie systems weigh about 500lbs each, forcing planes to use more fuel to get around the country.
Gee says US Airways will cut the movie systems from about 200 aircraft. But it will keep movies in its widebody aircraft for international flights and trips to Hawaii.
