Passengers flying with Korean Air in the next few weeks may be asked to take one additional step before boarding – getting on the scale.
Korean Air is one of the many airlines around the globe that is required to periodically obtain plane weight data.
If a passenger would prefer not to have their weight data collected, Korean Air confirms that they can opt out by letting a staff member know.
No one can see your weight, not even us,” a representative from Air NZ, the country’s national carrier, said at the time.
Once data is gathered, it helps airlines make decisions about fuel needs and weight distribution on board.
