Air New Zealand is asking over 10,000 passengers flying on its international network to participate in a passenger weight survey between May 29 and July 2. The survey is both “essential to the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft” and required by the Civil Aviation Authority, the airline said in a media advisory.
The airline is conducting the survey at the gate lounge entrance for some of its flights leaving Auckland International Airport. Participation is optional, the data is anonymous and there is no visible display that would show others the participants’ weight.
