Lighter Aircrafts thanks to new baggage containers
Air France has completed the renewal of its 3,650 long-haul baggage containers. The new units are now built of composite fiber materials and claim to be 11 kilograms lighter than the previous ones bringing with this decrease in weight a better performance to the airplanes and less CO2 emissions with the same cargo. Being lighter these containers are easier to move providing a gain in time in operation.

Totally agree with you. With the gain in weight saving of aircraft equipment we also gain in cost efficiency.
