An Exceptional Airline Industry Weighing Solution, without the excess baggage

Like most businesses, airlines are making increased efforts to cut costs and optimize revenue—and that includes charging fees for services that were formerly complimentary. Along with eliminating in-flight meals and raising ticket prices, many airlines are encouraging customers to travel light by charging for each bag checked. In addition, customers may pay an extra fee for baggage weighing more than the airline’s designated allowance.

This policy has two clear benefits. First and foremost, it creates more revenue for the airline. Second, if customers bring less baggage, the overall aircraft weighs less—and since a lighter aircraft uses less fuel, it saves significant operating costs. However, the entire system depends upon the reliability of the airline’s scale systems. An inaccurate scale may lead to incorrect and excessive customer fees—and quite possibly, a few angry travelers.

To help airlines remain compliant with government regulations, while ensuring customers are only charged for the precise amount of luggage they carry, Avery Weigh-Tronix offers the BI920 Baggage Indicator set. Avery Weigh-Tronix’s baggage scales offer exceptional accuracy and rugged, repeatable operation in busy airport environments.
