Airline to Weigh Passengers Before Boarding
Uzbekistan’s national carrier plans to weigh passengers with their hand luggage before boarding as part of a ‘flight safety’ measure for various airlines.
Uzbekistan Airways passengers will be directed to a “special weighing machine” at the departure gate, to determine each person’s average weight with their hand baggage.
The airline said that individual passengers’ weights would not be disclosed, and “full confidentiality of results is guaranteed”, with the weighing machine only categorising passengers by sex and into adult and child groups.
