New Zealand’s national airline is asking passengers to step on the scales before they board international flights. Air New Zealand says it wants to weigh 10,000 passengers over a five-week period in order to gather data on the weight load and distribution for planes. Michael Baird is an aviation expert in Australia. He told Newsday: “It can be quite a sensitive topic but I think from a passenger point of view the benefit is that you are weighed with your carry-on luggage… and also the weights will not be visible to anybody… even yourself. It will just be recorded.” (Picture: Shows an Air New Zealand plane taking off from Auckland Airport. Credit: William West / AFP via Getty Images.)
