EasyJet offloads 19 passengers to tackle weighty situation, 19,000 baht compensation offered

The EasyJet airline delayed a flight for two hours asking 19 passengers to disembark, citing excessive aircraft weight, according to the Daily Mail website. The aircraft was travelling from Lanzarote, Spain, to Liverpool, England.

The flight was originally slated to leave the airport at 9.45pm, but poor weather conditions meant that several hours passed without the plane taking off. Some passengers started to show signs of frustration at 11.24pm while the plane still sat on the tarmac.
