(regarding this blog entry)I do not understand why is it harmful for airline industry.
(1) Passengers have already paid for full ticket price(its another matter that’s its cheaper) and if he does not turn up, the airlines would not have any revenue loss(no refunds need to be processed by them)
(2) In-fact airlines would save on fuel since they are carrying lesser weight (Assuming 70 kg/person, think of savings in fuels cost. In-fact sometimes airlines have to kick out passengers to other flights and fly with lesser capacity than actual seats due to insufficient fuel to comply with air traffic rules)
(3) Fuel wasted at gate/airport surcharge: Showing up on boarding gate on time is traveller’s responsibility and airlines are under no obligation to wait for late passengers (unless they are crew members/pilot or maybe VVIP traveller). Which airlines would wait beyond departing time for passengers ? Well, for connecting (fly-thru) flights, they “may” have to wait (purely for economical reasons) if first leg is delayed; but in cases like 7 hr of transit time, this criteria does not hold.
