I think that's a misconstrued reference to it being the first flight for the unfortunate family who were passengers.
The same article suggests the aircraft in question was a Jodel 140. I'm not familiar with the performance characteristics or the seating capacity of the Jodel but that looks like a lot of weight for a small aircraft...but it is a Daily Mail report...
