Like in a commuter bus, passengers with Aero Contractors airline are now free to sit anywhere they like when they board the aircraft, the airline announced in a statement yesterday.
“Customers will no longer be restricted to a particular seat when checking in. They can now decide to choose where they desire to sit once they boarded the plane,†Mr. Robert Prophet, Head of Commercial for Aero, said.
The free seating policy, Prophet said, aims at ensuring prompt departure and quicker turnaround time.
“ Aero is most delighted to introduce this new policy which will ensure prompt departure and quicker turnaround time. This will ensure that the customer receives maximum value for the fairest price paid. We are here to give the best quality service to our customers at an affordable price.
“We ask our customers to be on the look out as Aero gears up for more innovative products and services even as the year runs outâ€.
Meanwhile, the airline has announced that infants who are under the age of two will now travel free of charge on all domestic routes.
“Infants under the age of two will travel with an accompanying adult for no charge. This provides our passengers the opportunity to travel to their destinations of choice with their infants without having to worry about the cost of their tickets. Adult passengers must book for the infants while making their own booking.
“With this exciting offer, we plan to leave a long lasting impression on the minds of our customers as we continue to introduce more satisfying services with great value for money,â€Â Prophet said.
