Mytilene airport

Was recently flown home from Mytilene (Lesbos) by the CAA following the collapse of Thomas Cook. We flew out from Gatwick on a Thomas Cook A321 fully loaded with passengers and luggage. The plane the CAA sent to fly us home was a White airlines A320. The pilot of that plane said that he was unable to take off with the plane fully loaded with passengers and luggage so 90% of the luggage was left behind. Presumably the Thomas Cook A321 would have taken off fully loaded with passengers and luggage, so why couldn’t the A320???
