Air New Zealand is conducting a survey of 10,000 passengers to understand the overall weight and balance of the plane.
based on the findings. Airlines have historically implemented a maximum weight permitted for carry-on and checked bags and have taken into account the number of passengers, food and drinks on board, and the fuel needed to get to the destination.“It’s a regulatory requirement for us to know the weight of everything that goes on the aircraft and there’s a good reason for that,” Alastair James, a load control improvement specialist for the airline said on.
But some American passengers remain uncertain about being weighed in public, with one passenger telling TODAY, “I think that’s a violation of privacy.” Another passenger said, “When I go to the doctor, I don’t even look at the scale, so I don’t want that out there in public.”The nation’s Civil Aviation Authority requires airlines to estimate the weight of passengers with one of two options.
The 2021 survey was conducted for solely local flights with the international flight survey being delayed due to the c ovid-19 pandemic as the country’s borders were still closed to international travelers. The survey will be carried out at New Zealand’s Auckland airport for designated flights and may include passengers on the nonstop flight from Auckland to New York’s John F. Kennedy International Airport.
