Finnair, Finland’s main airline, will voluntarily weigh passengers along with their luggage until May to enhance flight safety through improved balance calculations.
The data collected is anonymous and solely used to optimize aircraft balance, ensuring compliance with maximum weight limits.
Finnair emphasizes the non-utilization of personal information and pledges not to request passengers’ names or booking numbers during this voluntary process.
The initiative aims to address concerns about changing diets contributing to heavier passengers affecting flight safety.
The airline’s approach aligns with other carriers like Korean Air and Hawaiian Air that have implemented similar practices.
