Reading last weeks newspaper article it would appear that those kicked off had no idea what was the real cause of their misery.
Could Easyjet not take a full load and refuel on the way at a small airport to reduce the delay?
Is Ryanair affected by this issue?
I can't be certain but I seem to remember that in the early days of easyJet at SEN they hopped down to Bournemouth to refuel before flying onwards. Can't remember the destination(s) but I think it was during summer ops. Maybe someone else has a clearer memory than me?
