According to a report by The Independent, passengers spent two hours on a plane that was flying in low altitude after the plane took off with too much fuel.
The flight from London to Rome was scheduled to leave on Sunday. It was diverted back to the UK airport.
It took the plane one hour and 51 minutes to fly around the south coast of England. The altitude ranged from 5,900 feet to 8,000 feet while the plane was in the air.
The plane returned to the airport at 11:30 p.m.
Passengers are talking about the incident on social media. After 5 minutes from the take off the pilot discovered there was too much fuel. They are going to remove the unneeded fuel in Gatwick.
A person asked the Spanish airline if passengers on the flight could use the toilet because the plane was at a low altitude.
Flight Emergency, which has more than 80,000 followers, said the plane was burning fuel just off the south coast and returned to the airport because it had too much fuel on board.
The flight disruption and reports of excess fuel were not immediately responded to by the airline. The request was forwarded to Vueling.
The aircraft left London the next day and arrived in Barcelona on time.
