4 kg apple = US$ 10
'Pay only for what you weigh'!
This is the fairest system for payment of carriage of anything by air
2 kg apple = US$ 10
How does the pay by weigh system works?
Ticket Cost = Total weight x Sector fare per kg
= 100 kg x US$ 1.3/kg

Samoa Air has also signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the World Health Organization (WHO) which states that the new airline's new payment policy will also help promote health and obesity awareness
