Later this year regulations come in that ban any item weighing more than 35 kilos - an EU regulation on health grounds for the max a baggage handler can lift - this can be very difficult for business travelers who have to ship equipment as accompanied baggage...anyone know how this will be implemented
This rule has already been implemented in the UK at a limit of 32kg maximum for any single item of luggage.
At check-in if the suitcase is over weight the passenger must repack the bags contents in other bags or in boxes provided at a cost by the handling agent.
Seems to be working fine.
Unfortunately whether the passengers likes it or not the health and safety of the baggage handlers has to be first priority.
