Samoan airline says "pay by weight" plan fairest way to fly

http://in.screen.yahoo.com/samoan-airline-says-pay-weight-103515115.html

In a way I can understand their concern since there is a limit to how much an aircraft can carry and if suppose more than 50% of the passengers are in the range of 80 - 90 kgs ( many Europeans are huge built and easily weigh that) they need to balance it out ! But on the whole it doesnt make sense since overweight people will not travel by that airlines...

If a standard ST bus is taken into account where there are at least 50 passengers who weight at least 50KG each, the bus is carrying as much 2.5 tonnes of weight. So, the thinking of the airlines is correct in one sense.

A bus can carry 10-15 tonnes easily without problem, just think of overloaded buses with 100+ passengers. Besides trucks with almost same engines can carry up to 20 tonnes.

Yes they can as they are designed to bear that much load.

Tata and leyland have almost 95HP engines which are capable to carry 30 tonnes of weight including their on body weight.

I don't know how much load they can bear but that's for sure they can carry at least 200 people in it. :)

I don't understand what difference would it make if a few passengers are overweight, while a big aircraft can carry 2,50,000kg of weight of half of it the fuel itself. If some are overweight there are few who are underweight who makeup for the excess weight.

Not a difference it would make its just a proposal to take away some extra money from people as they know people who travel through airlines are normally overweight. :laugh:
