An easyJet flight to Liverpool forced 19 people off the plane because it was "too heavy to take off".
The easyJet flight, from Lanzarote's Arrecife Airport to John Lennon Airport, was delayed because of the plane's weight and adverse weather conditions. The flight was due to take off at 9.45pm yesterday, Wednesday, July 5, but did not leave the Spanish airport until nearly 11.30pm.
A video sent to the ECHO by a passenger showed one of the flight crew announcing their concerns regarding the take-off. The pilot said: "Thank for for getting here today. Because there are so many of you it's a pretty heavy aircraft.
