“I am shocked and disgusted’: Airline asks customers to weigh in. Finnair says it will collect data by weighing volunteer customers and their hand luggage.
Weighing is completely voluntary and anonymous and should only be used to optimize flights. “Each aircraft has a set maximum weight to ensure a safe take-off, and this weight must not be exceeded,” the airline explains. In 2023, an EasyJet flight from Lanzarote to Liverpool was unable to take off because weight limits for weather conditions were exceeded.
