Noticed flight was over burning fuel at much higher than normal rate. Crew also called to ask if load planning had the correct ZFW. All those number checked out. It was discovered that the oew was incorrect for the aircraft. Oew more than 92000 difference. A normal oew of that ac would be approximately 321k. Flight over burned 6;000 lbs.
