In a video posted by news agency ANI, the airline crew is seen making an announcement that nearly 26 passengers need to be offloaded with their checked-in luggage for the plane to be able to take off, due to a technical problem. The airline staff then urged the passengers to disembark for the plane to take-off.

This comes just a few days after Air France, which is among the top three European airline conglomerates, announced that they will increase its passenger-carrying capacity between India and Europe by more than 25 per cent from this winter.
