What is the cockpit layout and the three-level cockpit layout?

Cockpit layout in civil aviation usually refers to the layout of aircraft seats in the cabin, and the three-level cockpit layout refers to the layout of aircraft according to three levels: first class, business class and economy class. Although economy class has the largest number of seats, airlines do not earn their income by economy class fares. For traditional airlines, it is business class that can bring profits.

Take British Airways Boeing 777 as an example.

The plane has 224 seats in the engine room and flies on the London-Washington route every day. Assuming all the air tickets have been sold, when all the 65,438+022 economy seats are full, the total sales will be $65,438+006,872.

At the same time, the total sales of super economy class is $65438 +005320. It can be seen that the sales volume of 40 seats in super economy class is almost the same as that of all economy class 122 seats.

Business class, * * * has 48 seats, and its sales amount reaches $322,704. The sales amount of 65,438+04 first class seats is $65,438+02,206,5438+00. In contrast, there are only 14 first-class seats in the front of the plane, but it can bring more than120 thousand dollars in operating income for airlines, which is more than the total sales of all economy 122 seats.
