> EASA contracted Lufthansa Consulting to conduct a field survey and obtain the average weight of passengers, the weight of hand luggage and the weight of checked luggage at six airports, representing different regions in Europe: ATH (Athens Eleftherios Venizelos, Greece), BRU (Brussels, Belgium), CPH (Copenhagen-Kastrup, Denmark), MXP (Milan Malpensa, Italy), MUC (Munich Franz Josef Strauß, Germany), SOF (Sofia, Bulgaria).
> Male passengers have a mean weight of 82.2 kg, which is 14.7 kg more than the average female passenger (67.5 kg).
> The average weight of checked luggage, which is always limited by the luggage policies of the airlines, … averaged 16 kg.
> (Average carry-on luggage weight, from the study: 7.6kg)
For European passengers, men on average brought ~108kg of weight on board, and women ~88kg.
