A Tui plane was involved in a 'serious incident' after every passenger with the title 'Miss' was classified as a child.
An investigation has now confirmed there was an IT glitch which caused the flight to depart from Birmingham Airport at a heavier weight than expected.
The aircraft, which was heading for the Spanish island of Majorca, had 187 passengers on board and the incident was classified as 'serious' by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB).

An update to the airline's reservation system while its planes were grounded due to the coronavirus pandemic led to 38 passengers on the flight being allocated a child's 'standard weight' of 35kg as opposed to the correct figure of 69kg.
