Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) is making use of “toilet monitors” to ask passengers whether they need to relieve themselves before boarding in a bid to cut costs by reducing weight.

The toilet monitors will be posted at boarding gates to ask waiting passengers. The airline is hoping that trial program, which will be in place for a month, will see a five-ton reduction in carbon emissions due to fuel savings.

While only be in place for the month of October, ANA might extend the program if it proves a hit with passengers.
