Have you ever wondered why you always get off a plane from the right? We told why and where it comes from this practice in the aviation world, but before long it may become a faded memory, like when you could still smoke on board.

And the reason for this revolution is simple: embarkation/disembarkation operations will be faster, so carriers will be able to restart planes sooner and make more money. You will be surprised, however, to learn that this is not the latest brainchild of Ryanair's funambulist owner, but it is still a low-cost carrier delivery.
If In the 1970s Southwest had first invented back landing, while passengers on the next flight boarded from the front, today we discuss Indigo, an Indian low-cost carrier, which is testing the use of the right-hand door, generally dedicated to boarding provisions and nonambulatory passengers.

If this idea catches on, I bet that within a year at most we will see Ryanair and all the other low-cost airlines use this port for disembarkation procedures and, once completed, bring in the food cargo carrier.
According to Indigo, landing times are cut in half, this obviously means that boarding will start earlier and the plane can spend less time on the tarmac and more time in the air. In a nutshell, fewer euros to pay at the airport, and one or two more flights each day for the airlines' planes that are increasingly thirsty for fresh resources.
