No-smoking zone on aircraft
The National Airways Corporation introduced its non-smoking option for many passengers on its aircraft yesterday but by the end of the day it did not appear to have made any great difference.
Almost 1500 people flew 'out of Christchurch Airport I yesterday: only 77 of them I requested a seat in the smok!ing zone of die aircraft. One reason may have been I that many travellers were unaware of the trial, even i though signs of its introducI’.ion were displayed at check-in counters. During the trial, the airline jis reserving 70 per cent ot ' the seats in Boeing 737 s for inon-smokers.
i This means that when 'checking in for a flight uniless the passenger asks for a seat in the smoking zone he or she is likely to be allocated one in die non-smoking area. The right-hand side of die Boeing and part of the left are for non-smokers. The airline’s general manager (Mr D. A. Patterson) has said that the zoning into smoking and non-smoking areas on the NAC aircraft will be reviewed after two months.
