Passengers onboard an easyJet flight from Lanzarote to the UK were instructed to get off due to fears that the plane was "too heavy" to take off.
The flight from Lanzarote's Arrecife Airport to Liverpool was scheduled to depart at 9:45pm on Wednesday July 5 but did not take off until 11:24pm, The Mirror reports.
A member of the flight crew spoke to passengers just after boarding, informing them that: "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.
