Air New Zealand will be asking to weigh passengers traveling internationally in June.
They will be asked to be weighed at the entrance to the gate lounge of certain Air New Zealand flights departing from Auckland International Airport until July 2.
“We know stepping on the scales can be daunting. We want to reassure our customers there is no visible display anywhere. No one can see your weight – not even us! It’s completely anonymous,” Mr James said. The information will be collected to help the airline determine average passenger weights when calculating the weight and balance of aircraft before takeoff.“It’s simple, it’s voluntary, and by weighing in, you’ll be helping us to fly you safely and efficiently, every time.”
Air New Zealand told news.com.au it needed at least 10,000 passengers to participate and the survey was a Civil Aviation Authority requirement.
