In a move that may see the end of plastic alcohol bottles on aircraft Sachet Systems has introduced a laminated packet that weights a fraction of the traditional miniatures used on aircraft. Not only do they reduce weight but eliminate aluminium, plastic and glass we are all familiar with, saving tons of weight per annum. ABTN readers can share these wondrous sachets as we are offering 10 sets as prizes in our Christmas quiz. They are already boarding TAP the Portuguese flag carrier and rival PGA Portugalia. Some of the really big boys are showing an interest.
