Bloomberg.com: U.S.

Bloomberg.com: U.S.: "Toulouse-based Airbus will face financial penalties if the plane exceeds its target of about 240 tons, missing performance goals, says Executive Vice President for Operations Gerard Blanc, 61."

...each ton of extra weight allows the plane to carry 12 fewer passengers, assuming an average weight of 175 pounds (79 kilograms) per person. Four tons, he says, could mean about 48 fewer people.
