The minimum leg room for passengers on planes should be increased by at least two inches to 28.2 inches, a report by a House of Lords’ committee says. The report from the Science and Technology Committee claims the government was wrong to charge premium economy passengers the same airport air passenger duty departure tax as those in first class seats for long-haul flights. The committee calls for further research into possible links between contaminated-air incidents on planes and long-term ill-health and wants the Civil Aviation Authority to commission a study into the effects of fatigue on air crew.
