easyJet boss brands proposed new EU cabin baggage rules ‘bizarre’

• European Union proposals to allow all airline passengers two pieces of cabin baggage have been criticised by easyJet's CEO.
• Kenton Jarvis, easyJet CEO, described the plan as “bizarre” as well as "unworkable and mad" due to insufficient space on aircraft.
• The European Parliament voted in favour of the plan, arguing it would improve transparency and consumer protection.
• easyJet previously experienced significant disruption when allowing two free bags, which reduced by 95 per cent after introducing charges for larger cabin bags.
• Mr Jarvis stated that forcing a second bag would remove customer choice, increase prices, and is impractical given current aircraft capacity.
