Obesity adds fuel burden to airlines and costs
A federal study notes rising U S body weights raise aircraft weight and fuel use, increasing costs for carriers. It estimates 275 million more dollars and 350 million extra gallons burned in 2000 to move heavier passengers, with 3.8 million extra tons of CO2 emitted. The CDC cites weight trends and the industry seeks lighter materials and better weight estimates for flights.
