THAI sets waistline limit for passengers on 787-9 Dreamliners Thai Airways International has banned passengers with over 56-inch waistline and passengers with kids on their laps from Business Class seating on its Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. The new regulation on oversized passengers was announced by THAI’s Corporate Image and Social Responsibility Division this week. Flight Lieutenant Pratana Patanasiri, THAI Vice President, Aviation Safety, Security & Standards Department, clarified in the announcement today (March 16) that THAI has taken delivery of two Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircrafts to its service fleet since September last year. englishnews.thaipbs.or.th/thai-sets-waistline-limit-passengers-787-9-dreamliners/

I'm guessing American airlines aren't going to get these planes. Wouldn't be able to find enough passengers with sub-56" waistlines to fill the seats.

We had a guy at work who couldn't wear fresh air breathing equipment. So the company enquired if they had different side straps. Their response was "Tell the fat barsteward to lose weight". Of course that was pre safe space days. The company had to move him to a job more suited to his size for his own safety.

So instead of flying business class with the already larger seats, they squash themselves into cargo class.
