ATR 72-500 problem?
In thirteen years of flying Aurigny had a first today - on check in (seq 46) was told that the aircraft was heavy so they would not be carrying duty free or catering. Then at the gate the "last 5 passengers to check in" were offloaded (including me) and put on the next Flybe flight - which, as it happened, landed not long after the Aurigny flight, despite being timetabled 45 minutes later - no no skin off my nose - but wondered what was behind this - extra freight they had to get across, or something tec with the old gal?
