A trial of an airport baggage weighing machine got underway this week at Bristol Airport. The machine allows passengers to weigh their bags ahead of check in, with the trail launched in the same week that Trading Standards reported 1 in 5 airline weighing scales were faulty at Gatwick, with potentially bigger problems at other airports.
The bagweighahead machine will undergo a month-long trial at the airport to allow its development team to iron out any problems. The machine is sited inside the terminal and allows passengers to check if their baggage meets weight allowances, with airlines levying heavy fees if they do not.
The debut marks a milestone in a development process that began 5 years ago and has seen Tyneside husband and wife entrepreneurs Ged and Carole Stewart invest £50,000 into the product. Mr Stewart said: ‘We are looking forward to gauging customer demand and we want to ensure the processes are right.'
