Pilot asks 19 easyJet passengers to get off flight after airplane 'too heavy to take off'
A pilot was forced to ask 19 people to get off an easyJet flight after the airplane was 'too heavy to take off'.
A video, sent by a passenger to the Liverpool Echo, showed a member of the flight crew announcing their concerns regarding the take-off. "With safety as our number one priority, there is no way, with the current wind conditions, that we could get this aircraft airborne. There are a number of factors - it's very hot, the wind isn't fantastic, the direction isn't great.
Passengers in the video can be heard muttering, "I want to go home tonight" and shaking their heads. According to easyJet's flight tracker, the flight was delayed due to "poor weather conditions in Lanzarote".
