AirAsia Asks Passengers To Weigh Themselves Before Boarding

Those of us who travel are used to getting our baggage weighed at the airport.


But what about weighing yourself before boarding the plane?


Air Asia Thailand initiative

While odd, this would have been a common scene at AirAsia boarding gates in Bangkok's Don Mueang International Airport over the past week. The Malaysia-based budget carrier announced in a recent Facebook post that these measures had been implemented from Oct. 16-20 at the airport.



Weighing with Care

The initiative is called "Weighing with Care", and would be implemented for "some flights", according to AirAsia's post. Passengers on these flights would be asked to weigh themselves along with their cabin luggage at designated weighing points before boarding the aircraft.


The post also indicated that this is on a voluntary basis, and that passengers would be asked if they are willing to participate. The accompanying pictures show passengers queuing up at a boarding gate for the weigh-in, under the supervision of AirAsia staff. They place their belongings on the weighing scale before getting on it themselves.



AirAsia added in its post that the aim of this measure is to obtain updated information on the average weight of passengers. It would be used in collaboration with the Civil Aviation Authority of Thailand, to improve the airline's service efficiency and conform to safety standards.


The carrier also assured passengers that their information would be kept strictly confidential, in line with Thailand's Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA). The post then concluded by calling on passengers to not panic and cooperate voluntarily with their staff.


Many online users reacted to the announcement with amusement, and joked about their fear of weighing themselves.
