Finnair will weigh passengers with their hand luggage to better estimate the weight of the aircraft before takeoff. Participation in the survey is voluntary.
Some users are “horrified” by the announcement and fear that overweight passengers in particular could be embarrassed. Already 500 travelers in Helsinki have taken part in the measurement at the airport in the Finnish capital Helsinki. The passengers should be weighed by May. The values collected "are in no way linked to the customers' personal data," Finnair said.
