For customers, crew and cabin bags, we use average weights, which we will learn from doing this survey,” Air NZ load control improvement specialist, Alastair James, said. “We want to reassure our customers there is no visible display anywhere. No one can see your weight. Not even us! It’s completely anonymous.”
