Air New Zealand is requiring passengers departing on international flights from Auckland International Airport to participate in a passenger weight survey through July 2, 2023, in order to gather data on weight load and distribution for planes. Travelers will be asked to stand on a digital scale when they check in for their flight, and the information about their weight will be submitted to the survey but will not be viewable on the agent’s screen. The airline says it has made the data anonymous to protect individuals’ privacy.
