New focus has been put on trendy weight loss drugs like Ozempic, and some of it from an unusual corner: As airlines try to find ways to reduce the amount of jet fuel they consume, at least one airline believes it could save $80 million per year if passengers lost at least 10 pounds. Sheila Kahyaoglu of Jefferies Financial made the estimate in a report on how plane-makers and airlines could reduce costs for their operations, and possibly for travelers.
One airline journalist pointed outhow in 2018, United said it found it could save nearly $300,000 annually, at that time, by printing its in-flight magazine called"Hemispheres" on thinner and lighter paper. The change was estimated to save 170,000 gallons of fuel each year.
