If anyone does want to do that, if anybody does want to volunteer, there will of course be an incentive for you to do that, and that is something we'll be able to let you know about.
"This is a routine operational decision in these circumstances and weight restrictions are in place for all airlines for safety reasons. In the event that a flight would exceed weight limits, we ask for passengers to volunteer to transfer to a later flight free of charge, which is what happened on this occasion and volunteers are provided with compensation in line with regulations.
The pilot said: "Thank you all for getting here today. Because there are so many of you it's a pretty heavy aircraft we've got today.and some winds which aren't particularly favourable at the moment, mean that with the current environmental conditions here in Lanzarote, the aircraft is too heavy to depart.
