Another aim of the airline is to reduce the aircraft’s weight, thereby cutting down on the airline’s carbon emissions. A statement released by the airline said, “With more and more people flying again after the COVID-19 pandemic, and with the recent emphasis in sustainability, there is a growing movement around the world to promote sustainable tourism.”
As per the website of clothing rental service, the weight of passengers, luggage, and cargo together add to the more consumption of fuel. For every 10 kg of weight cut on a luggage from flight between New York and Tokyo, carbon emissions can be reduced by 7.5 kg!
The website further explains that passengers can also reserve clothes for up to one month in advance and borrow them for two weeks. It also mentioned that the clothing available for rental will be of a mix of brands and second-hand pieces.
The airlines also said that travellers today have a desire to make more sustainable choices when it comes to travel destinations, accommodations, transportation, among others but they still lack good options. “Most travellers now enjoy eating at restaurants and staying at hotels at their destination, but they generally bring their clothing from home," mentioned the airline.
