Air New Zealand is conducting a month-long survey to weigh 10,000 passengers before they board international flights from Auckland International Airport. The survey is part of a requirement by the Civil Aviation Authority, the country’s industry watchdog, to help calculate the weight and balance of planes before takeoff.
Alastair James, a load control improvement specialist for the airline, said in a statement, “We weigh everything that goes on the aircraft — from the cargo to the meals onboard, to the luggage in the hold. 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.”
Air New Zealand has promised that there will be no visible display of the weigh-in data anywhere, and the data will remain anonymous even to airline staff. The survey is voluntary and passengers can opt out if they wish.
The survey is part of Air New Zealand’s commitment to safety and security. The airline has a long history of being at the forefront of safety and security initiatives, and this survey is just another example of its commitment to ensuring the safety of its passengers.
The survey is expected to be completed by the end of the month. Air New Zealand encourages all passengers to participate in the survey in order to help ensure the safety of all passengers.
