Around 20 passengers were removed from a British Airways flight from Florence’s Amerigo Vespucci airport to London City Airport on Aug. 11, to reduce the aircraft's weight before takeoff.
I don’t think there’s much if any airfreight going through LCA. Both Florence and LCA are very short constrained runways, near much larger airports where you can more easily deal with freight.
Usually freight gets offloaded first, but then you’re looking at passengers and bags. Or an enroute fuel stop somewhere with a longer runway.
So does the airline make more money off the freight in the cargo hold than they do passengers?
