A FRENCHMAN who weighs 170kg has won a court case against Air France after it made him buy a second seat on a flight from New Delhi to Paris, he said.

Jean-Jacques Jauffret, a 43-year-old screen-writer, said he was deeply humiliated when airline staff measured his girth with wrapping tape in front of other passengers at New Delhi airport.

Air France was ordered to pay €8000 ($13,600) in damages and to reimburse the cost of his second seat, in a ruling delivered last Friday.

Returning to France from a holiday in India in August 2005, Mr Jauffret was told that as the plane was full he could not be assured a free seat next to him. Instead he was told to buy the extra ticket.

“The court recognised the humiliation I suffered. Now Air France is going to have to say clearly what is its commercial policy. Does it carry people or kilos?” he said.
