Martino Matijevic, CEO and Founder at WhichBudget.com comments: "The SkyRider has taken the concept of high density seating to the next level and will be of interest to the low fare airlines looking at new ways to maximise passenger capacity and profitability for their airline. Some airlines already adopt high-density seating between 28-30in. For some travellers this is already close enough. At just 23in seat pitch, the new SkyRider introducers a new class of travel and poses problems for tall or large passengers. As yet, no airlines have expressed an interest in using the seats but with talk of stand-up cabins, we think a reduction in the average seat pitch of 30in is only a matter of time." WhichBudget has put together a list of airlines' seat pitches to show travellers which airlines offer the most space in economy class. Seat pitch is the measurement between the headrest of one seat and the same point on the seat in front. The greater the distance the better the chances of surviving a flight without any cramp!

Italian company Aviointeriors unveiled a new type of seat, the SkyRider, at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in California this week. The seat is aimed at budget airlines and short haul routes less than three hours long. It offers just 23in of space compared to a more "generous" economy class average of 30in.
