Overloading
Yip. Remember being over 12 tons over after one departure from Cotonou/DBBB. Load sheet means nothing to these guys. If there's space left they will put stuff in. They will never tell the crew either about the overloading as they might not get to put the load in then.
What surprises me is that this had not happend before.
It would be interesting to know who actually chartered the aircraft and who took care of the handling.
