British Start Up
In the future, every airline passenger will be weighed: that is the claim of a British technology company which is seeking to reduce the amount of fuel burnt by jet aircraft. At present, airlines use “assumed mass” – estimating the total weight of the passengers by using set figures. Typically each passenger is assumed to weigh 88kg.Airlines may use gender to refine this figure, allowing 93kg for men and 75kg for women.
It is not the weighing, it's the security of your data. The suggestion is to hold it only till the flight has landed. And we can be sure that they will promise to take great care of the data ...
