All airlines outside the US that I know of use kg for mass and balance and metres for aircraft runway performance, computed for each takeoff and landing based on the mass of the aircraft and payload in kilograms.
The only airline that does not seems to be Nippon Cargo Airlines which uses pounds which is odd as they are headquartered in Tokyo. Although they fly to and from the US, they also fly to Europe and Asia, so it's odd they use pounds for computing the mass of the aircraft and payload.
