Our CAA requires a statistical analysis to be completed every five years. This is done by taking actual passengers and their carry on baggage and weighing them. Last time a sample of 10,000 pax on statistical diverse routes was used and the increase was up one kilo.

We also have different average weights for different sectors that have statistically higher or lower weights.
