Crew Baggage Weight Limits
Recently, various nation’s worker protection agencies have become more concerned about increasing on-the-job injuries being incurred by baggage handling personnel at airports due to un-labeled heavy baggage. This is particularly the case in Western nations with strict legal codes and stiff penalties surrounding these Health and Safety matters. As you may suspect, the maximum weights allowed under all the various codes differs widely.
To ensure we meet the majority of the world-wide codes and to avoid having to add personnel on the Departure floors at EGHQ to weigh crew bags and attach “Heavy Bag” tags both Flight Ops and Inflight Service have implemented a maximum crew baggage weight of 22Kgs.
Beginning March 1, all crew baggage will need to be less than 22kgs or it cannot be carried on board the aircraft. Additional information on the requirements and processes of managing this policy will be forthcoming shortly to both cabin crew and pilots.
