Safety concern halts flight from Southend to Malaga
An EasyJet flight from London Southend Airport to Malaga delayed its departure on Saturday morning after crew determined that the aircraft exceeded safe operating weight under prevailing conditions. Because of this, safety margins dipped below acceptable levels. Crews recalculated limits while passengers waited inside. The 08:40 BST service required a reduction in load. Five people stood up without being asked, due to which the weight dropped just enough right before the takeoff.
