It’s not rocket science, just a simple, common-sense way to get passengers aboard quickly and easily. It’s based on a simple principle – a series of small groups, each arranged in row order before entering the plane.
About 15 to 20 passengers in each group line up in row order, rear to front. Then they walk into the plane and down the aisle directly to their seats unimpeded, stow their bags and sit down simultaneously! Takes less than a minute, more like 45 seconds for everybody to be comfortably seated before the next small group arrives.
No need to push past each other - spread out along the aisle passengers have plenty of elbow room.
Using the Flying Carpet in this way, 8 to 10 groups in rapid succession gets 150 to 200 passengers aboard a Boeing 737 or Airbus A321 in under 10 minutes. That’s about half to usual time for even the best of other systems.
And much less chance of infection – less exposure time, but more importantly, there’s far fewer close contacts between passengers. Much lower risk of spreading COVID (or any other illness or disease).
Faster, healthier for passengers, easier for airlines plus significant cost savings.
