Paragraph 2
 
 
						  
						  
Passengers who volunteer to be weighed are stepping on weighing 
 at the departure 
 at Helsinki Airport. Finnair officials were 
 concerned about a customer backlash because weight is such a personal 
. However, in the first week of the tests, over 1,000 
 had agreed to be weighed. The company said: "We hope to have a good 
 of volunteers, both business and leisure travellers, so that we can get the most 
 information possible for important balance 
." It added: "Our customers have taken it really positively so far." An official said travellers could "rest assured" and have "
 of mind" that their weight would not be linked to their personal 
.
