US Airways said it will remove in-flight movie systems from its domestic aircraft to save about $10 million a year in fuel and other costs.

The carrier decided to pull the entertainment systems because the number of people paying $5 for headsets has dropped as money spent on jet fuel, maintenance and studio fees has climbed.

The video systems add about 500 pounds to a plane’s weight, increasing fuel use.
