THE LONGER THEY WAIT, THE MORE WEIGHT THEY LOSE

TSA HAS FOUND ITS PLACE IN DECARBONIZATION !

In 2015, CNN Travel reported that Uzbekistan Airways planned to start weighing passengers prior to boarding, while in 2017 Finnair announced a program where passengers volunteered to be weighed before takeoff, to collect more accurate data.

Using weight to optimize aircraft fuel also raises questions about whether airlines will try to save money by carrying as little fuel as possible. This could increase the chance of airplanes having to make unscheduled fuel stops when delays or diversions occur, possibly leading to more cancellations.

Fuscone says it would be up to the airline how it uses the weight data to optimize fuel levels. Theoretically, he says, it could result in lower ticket prices.
