easyJet plane “too heavy†to take off from Birmingham
12 January 2011Thirty passengers were ordered off an easyJet plane in Birmingham on Boxing Day because it had been loaded with too much fuel before take-off.
The flight, which was scheduled to fly to Geneva in Switzerland, had to lose weight before take-off so the company asked for volunteers to disembark. Following a lukewarm response – only seven people took up the offer – the last 30 passengers to board were then told to get off the easyJet plane.
