19 passengers had to get off an easyJet flight because the pilot decided it was to heavy for the weather conditions. The flight from Lanzarote to the UK was delayed because of the plane's weight and adverse weather conditions. The flight was due to take off at 9.45pm but did not leave until 11.30pm, reports The Echo.
In an announcement to the passengers, the pilot said: "Thanks for getting here today. Because there are so many of you it's a pretty heavy aircraft.
"That heavy aircraft combined with a pretty short runway and with the current unfavourable conditions here in Lanzarote, means the aircraft is too heavy to take off. I've been sat with my senior first officer and we're very experienced with this and have done this before.
