MUMBAI: Pay more if you are over-weight, feel travelers according to a recent survey. Around 60 percent air travelers feel that airlines should levy a "Fat Tax" as a charge for seats for overweight passengers. The survey was conducted with a sample of 1000 travellers by a travel search portal, Skyscanner.
A release by the portal states that the poll was conducted after a Norwegian economist said that airlines should follow other transport sectors and charge by space and weight. The survey stated that a Pacific-based carrier, Samoa Air, already charges passengers according to their weight. It is the world's first "cost-per-kilo" fare system, states the survey report. More than 40 percent of the travelers were against the system and found it discriminatory.
Travel experts in Mumbai said that such a system would offend fliers and would not be in good taste. "People can't be charged as per their weight. If a passenger can accommodate himself/herself in one seat why should there be an extra charge for them?" asked a Fort-based travel agent.
