British Airways removes 20 passengers from London-bound flight after 'extreme heat' makes plane too heavy

Twenty passengers were forced to leave a British Airways flight before take-off when extreme heat made the aircraft too heavy to launch into the air.

The passengers were removed from the aircraft in order for extra fuel to be pumped into the plane as it left Amerigo Vespucci Airport in Florence bound for London City Airport earlier this month.
