Unless the plane has <30 seats I’m taking being weighed as I board as a huge red flag.
Airplane fuel efficiency is impacted by how much weight is onboard, and that includes fuel weight.
The more they know about the actual weight of each trip, the more fuel efficient they can make each trip.
HOWEVER, even though this is well intentioned, it’s not hard to see American carriers would love this be standardized. They would definitely leverage it to further increase their revenues. Which they will then reinvest in…checks notes…stock buybacks.
The more they know about the actual weight of each trip, the more fuel efficient they can make each trip.
This is very unconvincing from people who also did this.
This a smaller regional carrier based out of Finland, not a massive global carrier.
Why? This will make air travel a little bit safer.
