TL;DR

Finnair is conducting a trial at Helsinki Airport where volunteer passengers are being weighed at the departure gate, including their carry-on bags, in order to refine weight estimates for planes before takeoff. The airline plans to weigh 1,200 passengers for the winter season and more for the summer, collecting data for aircraft balance and performance calculations. The collected data is not linked to customers' personal data and will be used for loading calculations from 2025-30.
