Believe it or not, it's not from RyanAir, but China's first private airline, Spring Air. They are pushing the concept of no-frills travel to the extreme, announcing plans to strip its aircraft of seats.

Speaking on Chinese CCTV, a spokesman proposed that standing-room-only cabins could accommodate up to 40 per cent more passengers, and follows on from comments by China's vice premier, Zhang Dejiang, who argued that citizens "should be able to get on a plane like catching a bus".

With a fleet of 13 aircraft, Spring Air has experienced a massive demand for its low-cost flights and has already placed an order for 14 new jets. The spokesman continued that in addition to increasing capacity, the airline's costs would be cut by 20 per cent if passenger seats were removed, propping passengers against a padded backboard secured by a harness.

Have a nice flight!
