The "light" in my post referred to "traveling" ( as in "traveling light" and therefore not having to take 10 minutes to check-in each pax due having to process a gazillion items of baggage ) rather than "people",as it would otherwise be difficult to make sense of the post as I do not quite see how the weight of people could have a significant bearing on the opening times for check-in.
I assume that T7 currently does not require passengers to proceed via weighing scales before boarding nor ask them for their weight when booking or checking in and instead, like other European airlines, estimate passenger weights using the standard EASA estimates.
