De ce sunt cântărite tot mai strict bagajele de mână în aeroporturi? Motivul îi poate surprinde pe călători • Newsweek România

Airlines are increasingly enforcing stricter hand luggage regulations due to safety concerns and boarding efficiency. Overhead compartments often fill up quickly, causing delays as crew members manage luggage space. Natasha Heap, an aviation safety researcher, emphasizes that excessive hand luggage can pose safety risks. Different airlines have varying weight limits for hand luggage, influenced by their pricing models and operational needs. The average hand luggage weight is set at 7 kilograms per passenger, but this can differ by airline. Heavy bags can lead to physical injuries for crew members and slow down the boarding process, especially in emergencies. Experts advise travelers to minimize their hand luggage to enhance safety and efficiency.
