Arkia Airlines decided Wednesday night to remove suitcases from one of the flights to Uman, due to the excess weight of the plane, which was caused by a deviation in the baggage of many of the passengers.
Some of the passengers were furious at the move and vented their anger at the staff. Police who were summoned to the scene detained of them for questioning. Arkia reported that "for operational reasons, not all the suitcases were put on the flight. The suitcases will be flown to the destination in the coming hours and delivered to the passengers."
