An airline which became the first in the world to charge people according to how much they weigh has introduced extra large seats for its heaviest passengers.
Samoa Air is fitting its entire fleet of propeller aircraft with a special XL row with more space between seats and an extra 14 inches of room for each passenger, said the Daily Mail.
The seats will cater for those who weigh in excess of 20 stone. On the Pacific island of Samoa, more than 80% of the population over the age of 15 are regarded as overweight.
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.
