Well it is an arguable point but generally speaking the fact that the weight of the aircraft is that much more would indicate the aircraft being that much larger, which in turn would use up more space, carry more passengers and is more labour intensive with regard to looking after the customer
What utter rot!
A turbine helicopter has a MTOW often twice that of a comparable sized GA aircraft, with the same size of footprint and the same number of people on board - how do you reconcile double the handling fee?
A Citation has 3 times the MTOW of your average large'ish twin (Aztec) but will probably have the same number of people and a parking footprint not much larger (20%) - how do you reconcile treble the handling fee?
Unigirl - your argument falls, very unceremoniously, flat on its face.
