The first airline in the world to introduce 'pay what you weigh' fares (we're not aware of any others so far) is now fitting all its Britten Norman and Cessna aircraft with a special XL row of seats which have been made 12-14 inches (30-35 cm) wider to provide more stomach room, with more space between the seats. It seems these will be provided to those who weigh more than 280 lbs (127 kg)
Samoa Air chief executive Chris Langton told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation that the airline had also added a special ramp on its planes to allow for easier access for large passengers.
About 80% of the Samoan population is said to be overweight.
