Thus London City Airport has been reducing the weight of their flights because of their 4,900 foot runway.

On Sunday, the fact that fifteen passengers were pulled from a Gatwick-Geneva flight made the news. The flight was overweight by a ton. According to Swiss Airways, a ground handler reported “It’s happening every day from London City because in bad weather the pilots need a lot of fuel, and can’t take off from City with a lot of fuel and a full plane of passengers”

Simultaneously, Geneva Airport was facing heavy thunderstorms.
