The world's first airline to charge passengers by their weight rather than per seat says the policy has helped to raise obesity awareness and improve public health.

萨摩亚航空是世界上第一个根据乘客体重而非座位收费的航空公司，该航空公司认为这个政策可以提高大家的肥胖意识，并提高公众的健康。

Samoa Air, the Pacific national airline which flies domestically and last week began connecting Samoa to American Samoa, allows passengers to nominate their weight and then measures them on scales at the airport. Passengers do not pay for a seat but pay a fixed price per kilogram, which varies according to the length of the route.

萨摩亚航空是一个太平洋地区的国内航空，上周开始了萨摩亚和美属萨摩亚之间的航线。乘客们先自己报体重，然后在机场进行测量。乘客不是根据座位数量收费，而是综合考虑体重和路程的来计算价格。

Analysts believe other airlines around the world are likely to follow suit, especially as the rising weight of populations adds to fuel costs. Some airlines in the United States have already begun forcing passengers who cannot fit in a single seat to buy two tickets.

分析人士认为，尤其考虑到体重增加会增加燃料成本，世界的其他航空公司可能纷纷效仿。美国的部分航空公司已经开始强迫那些胖得一个座位坐不下的乘客购买两张票。
