The statement was written in his journal that published this month. Dr. Bhatta claimed that weight and space where one seat should be considered airfares.

"Weight loss is important in the aviation industry, the airline should include consideration when determining the price of their tickets," said Dr. Bhatta in his journal, as quoted from Dailymail, Tuesday (26/03/2013).

This was echoed by the journal editor, Dr Ian Yeoman. "For airlines, any excess weight, the more fuel, thus making greater CO2 emissions, the cost was more and more," he said.
