Premium seats are sometimes referred to as the ‘pointy end’ of the plane. But SWISS has also found it’s the heavy side for some of its aircraft.

The flag carrier of Switzerland has discovered that it will need to do a rebalancing calibration on its fleet of A330-300s because the weight of its new first class seats made the planes nose-heavy.

According to SWI Swissinfo, in order to correct the center of gravity in the affected aircraft, the airline plans to install 1.5 ton (1,500 kilograms) lead weights towards the back of the planes.
