In public consultation, design of the stamp of 'plane comfortable' should be ready by December
By the end of the year, the Brazilian passenger may have a new tool when buying tickets: Seal Dimensional ANAC, which identify the aircraft from Brazil with more comfortable seats and spacious.
The original proposal has been finalized and any person may send contributions to ANAC through the public hearing available at the agency (www.anac.gov.br) until September 18.
"After the hearing, the program will be refined and, after approval, will be published in the official gazette of the Union This should happen by the end of the year when the seal is now ready and available. From there, it will be a business decision in acquiring the label as a differential. The seal is voluntary, "said the superintendent of operational safety of ANAC, Carlos Eduardo Pellegrino.
Airlines join the Seal ANAC will display the labels on the aircraft as well as publish them in the systems of buying and booking tickets over the Internet. The label will allow consumers to compare the distance between the seats of each aircraft through five categories of space. On aircraft that have the stamp in category E - the worst - for example, the distance between the seats (called pitch) should have a minimum of 66 cm (26 inches). Since the aircraft category A, the pitch should not exceed 76 cm (30 inches).
According to ANAC, though comfort is not the requirement of regulation, with safety and health have shown that the usable space for the traveler should consider the body shape and flight time. A study by the agency with 5305 men - between 15 and 87 years of age, in 20 major airports in the country - showed that the standard used by Brazilian companies for the back seat is 45 inches wide, while 70% of passengers surveyed have higher measures of width between the shoulders.
The study also found that 17 of the 22 models evaluated seats companies serve 95% of passengers, as the shortest distance between the seats is 73.6 cm. Among the passengers surveyed, the average height is 1.73 me only 8% are above 65 cm in length between the buttocks and knee.
For Maria Inês Dolci, institutional coordinator of the Brazilian Consumer Protection (Pro Test), one must know the consumer will be affected by the seal. "Providing comfort and good spacing between the seats is the obligation of companies. What you can not do is provide a poor service for people who pay cheaper, "he says.
Pellegrino disagrees: "This seal is intended to inform the passenger at the time of purchase. The decision to opt for the comfort it is only the consumer. "
