Air New Zealand to Implement Pre-Boarding Passenger Weighing in June

Air New Zealand will conduct a voluntary survey of weighing more than 10,000 international passengers throughout June to study weight load and distribution on its airplanes. Digital scales will be set up at the entrance of select gate lounges at Auckland International Airport. Passengers’ weight data will be submitted as part of the survey, but will not be visible on the agent’s screen. The airline conducted a similar survey for domestic passengers in 2021, but its international survey was delayed due to travel restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
