Sorry it took me so long to get back to this. But when I finally did it looks like the packages are gone already, Could you give some detail as to what was happening there?

Oh we just made some shuttle runs and delivered them.

I could transfer packages to other aircraft and/or airport center but could not release them.

Let me see if I can replicate it. Yup still doing it!

Does not matter if the flight is booked or not

I just added two packages to Palm Springs on my flight from KLAS to KSAN, then tried to release them and got this:

Working from ALL VA PACKAGES page.

When working from the aircraft load page "Release Select Packages" I do not get the error message but they do not release.

NOTE: It is NOT browser specific issue, I tried in both Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge and on two different computers running Win10.

THIS FLIGHT IS ON "GATE HOLD" UNTIL YOU CAN LOOK AT IT. ;)

Hi Sam, I just copied the last database backup to my work system so I can debug this and you can continue your flight.

OK, it just released them from the airport packages page and it did not charge us for the release.

Just flew a shed load of packages from Glasgow to Manchester, planning to deliver them to Liverpool after landing.

Unfortunately FSA thinks that they are loaded on Joe Cusick's aeroplane so I can't deliver them :shock:

Looks like Joe loaded them, they ARE on your airplane and you should be able to ground deliver them using VA PACKAGES tab. only 21 nm.
Those are WAY old though - November 21st. Did you check VA PACKAGES before you departed to view cargo status? It is VERY EASY to load the wrong aircraft and perhaps Joe did just that back in November without realizing it. One of the reasons I check our VA PACKAGES page daily (part of my job as Chief Operating Officer) is to make sure that very thing has not happened and packages are not sitting forgotten on the wrong aircraft collecting dust and big money fines.

You might get some relief through a support ticket but there is no guarantee of that on my behalf.

What Airline? Registration Number of aircraft? If packages were on the airplane when sold, that needs to be addressed via support ticket.

I took care of it, seams when aircraft are returned to FSA Aviation after an airline is dissolved, the packages are not being removed, a bug I should fix soon.

This should not happen in normal sales as you can't list aircraft for sale if they have packages on board.
