The irate passenger got out of his seat and appeared to hit a Turkish police officer and a woman member of the cabin crew.
No injuries were reported during the incident.
The spokesperson of the airline said that this was a routine operation decision for the airline, and there are weight restrictions on every flight before takeoff. However, the airline offered an incentive of up to EUR 500 per passenger who volunteered to get off the plane.
In a video recorded by a passenger, the pilot said, "Thank you all for getting here today. Because there are so many of you, it's a pretty heavy aircraft we've got today."
