Holidaymakers have told of their 'nightmare' flight which was delayed for more than 16 hours because the plane was too heavy.
The TUI travellers were left stranded at Exeter Airport overnight after they were told to disembark their flight to Turkey and return home on Saturday, June 3. As reported by Devon Live, those at the airport were told the delay was because the aircraft was carrying too much weight and wasn't safe to take off.
Some passengers watched on in horror as random suitcases were removed from the plane to make it lighter. They were then told they would be waiting until the following day and eventually boarded the flight and headed for Antalya at around 8.40am.
