According to a report by Manchester Evening News, the EasyJet flight from Spain’s Lanzarote airport to Liverpool’s John Lennon airport was supposed to take off at 9:45 pm (local time) on Wednesday, but was delayed because of the heavy weight.

According to the report, the pilot cited the heavy aircraft, short runway and the weather conditions as three major constraints for the delay of the flight.

“Thank you all for getting here today. Because there are so many of you it’s a pretty heavy aircraft”, the pilot was heard saying in the video.

“That heavy aircraft combined with a pretty short runway and with the current unfavorable conditions here in Lanzarote, means the aircraft is too heavy to take off,” he added.
