(Seoul=News 1) = Korean Air announced on the 16th that it will put a special blackpink-clad flight on the route to Paris, France, where the General Assembly of the International Exhibition Organization will be held to support the Busan World Expo 2030.

Korean Air announced that it will start measuring the standard weight of passengers, including carry-on luggage, from the 28th in accordance with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.
The weight will be measured at Gimpo International Airport until the 6th of next month, and then at Incheon International Airport from the 8th to the 19th of next month. Measurements are taken at the boarding gate with carry-on baggage.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport stipulates that passenger standard weights should be measured and averaged at least every 5 years or if necessary, in accordance with the ‘Aircraft Weight and Balance Management Criteria’. The figures are used as data values applied to aircraft weight and weight distribution.
Korean Air explained, “Measurement data are collected anonymously and will be used as data for safe flight.” If you do not want to be measured, you can tell the guide when boarding. In a survey conducted earlier in 2017, adult males and females weighed 81 kg and 69 kg as standard in the summer.
The reason why airlines measure the weight of passengers and distribute weight is to reduce fuel costs. Being able to accurately weigh passengers can reduce the amount of additional fuel consumed. Foreign airlines and other domestic airlines also measure the weight of passengers and reflect it in their flights.
