They are. Many airlines believe it's not only cheaper to provide an AC outlet on the armrest or wherever, consumers also prefer it. (I know I do) I don't know all the details but... To my understanding... Existing jet engines can be adapted to produce a significant amount of electricity once the aircraft has taken off. Also to my understanding... This is a LOT cheaper than installing all the equipment needed for the fancy in-flight entertainment systems. BTW - In the annual Airline Quality Rating report that was just released... Jet Blue, which rated highest on the list for the past three years, was bumped out of the top slot by Hawaiian. ;) Yeah! They are.

Good idea with the outlet splitter for the terminals! :P I wonder if they will be increasing the number of outlets in the cabin, though?

Others didn't to help keep costs down. The new trend is "Self Entertainment" via the passengers own personal electronic devices. People have Laptops, hand held video games, ipods, portable DVD players, etc... Passengers prefer their own devices to the entertainment systems the airlines provide and the costs are less for the airline. Installing a power outlet or a wireless internet connection is way cheaper than installing flat screen displays on the backs of every seat. Airports need to catch up as well. Outlets are rare because they only installed enough to run the maintenance and cleaning equipment. Every single outlet seems to be occupied at the terminal wherever I go. Now that I think about it... I'm going to start packing an adapter so I might be able to split an already occupied outlet. Some airlines heavily invested themselves in In-Flight entertainment systems.
