Until July 2, selected Air New Zealand passengers will be asked to get on a weighing scale before flying, all in the name of safety. Since Monday, passengers of the national airline departing on some international flights from Auckland have been asked to log their weight...
“For customers, crew and cabin bags, we use average weights, which we get from doing this survey.”
The information about their weight is then submitted to the survey but will not be viewable on the agent’s screen.Acknowledging that weight can be a sensitive matter, the airline said customers had nothing to fear as data will be collected anonymously, so not even airline staff will be privy to the numbers.
The survey will be conducted at the entrance to the gate lounge of certain Air New Zealand flights departing from Auckland International Airport. The survey for international networks was last conducted in 2015 but this marks the first year since Covid-19 that there will be enough travellers to get an accurate number, according to the New Zealand Herald.
