19 passengers were left on the runway by the British airline EasyJet because it was allegedly “too heavy” to take off. The Manchester Evening News said that the EasyJet flight was scheduled to take off at 9:45pm on Wednesday but was unable to do so until closer to 11:30pm.
The big aircraft, the short runway, and the weather conditions, according to the pilot, were the three main restrictions. Twenty passengers were asked to volunteer and decline to take off.
Additionally, he proposed a 500-euro reward for individuals who willingly decide to remain at the airport.
However, the incentive offered and the airline’s lack of preparation did not win over the passengers.

A division of Air India, Alliance Air, is significantly enhancing connectivity between Sri Lanka and India. Alliance Air will begin daily service between Jaffna International Airport and Chennai on July 16th, becoming the first airline to do so after successfully resuming flights between Jaffna’s Palaly Airport and Chennai in December 2022.
The airline has operated more than 100 flights between the two cities, carrying more than 12,000 passengers as of the end of June. The decision by Alliance Air to raise the number of flights from weekly to daily indicates the rising demand for travel between the two locations.
4. Passengers Have To Wait For Over An Hour For Buses On The Kozhikode-Guruvayur Route
On the Kozhikode-Guruvayur route, there used to be frequent private bus service, which ran every 5–10 minutes. Only 13 private buses now run along this route, making passengers wait more than an hour to board another one if they miss one.
The cancellation of the permits for private buses traveling more than 140 kilometers, which went into effect on March 1st, is what the owners of private buses blame for the current situation. Elderly people and others traveling from remote areas to attend the Guruvayur temple would have significant inconveniences as a result of the lack of private buses.
