No air conditioning? Are these people fucking stupid or what?
No airplane has an air conditioner. They pump cool air into the plane when it is at the sky bridge at the gate. You can see the flexible duct hose that the plane is connected to. Or they have a mobile air conditioning unit next to the plane. The vast majority of the time the airplane is either airborne usually at an air temperature of negative 50° f or at the gate at the airport. It doesn't make business sense to carry the weight of an air conditioner for the relatively short time. The airplane is taxi.
Almost all aircrafts have air conditioning. Even the small single cessna's have air conditioning device.
How do you think airplanes are pressurized at 35k ft and stay warm?
