Bengaluru-Delhi Go First Flight Departs Without Over 50 Passengers, DGCA Seeks Explanation
A Go First flight to Delhi from Bengaluru allegedly left behind nearly 50 passengers at the airport, prompting the DGCA to seek an explanation from the airline.
A Go First flight bound for Delhi on Monday reportedly left the airport in the city without taking on more than 50 passengers, who were waiting in a shuttle bus for boarding. The aviation regulator, Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), has sought a report on the incident from the airline.
Some passengers claimed on social media that a bus full of passengers were not allowed to board the Go First flight from Bengaluru to Delhi. The flight, numbered G8 116, departed at 6:40 am on Monday, leaving the passengers behind, according to their allegations.
Go First declined to comment on the incident. However, in response to one of the tweets, the airline asked users to share their details and said they regretted the inconvenience caused. A senior official at the DGCA stated that the airline has been asked for a report and that appropriate action will be taken afterward.
Meanwhile, ticket holders took to social media to vent their anger.
"Flight G8 116 (BLR-DEL) flew leaving passengers on ground! More than 50 passengers on 1 bus were left on ground & the flight took off with just passengers of 1 bus on boarded. Is @GoFirstairways @JM_Scindia @PMOIndia operating in sleep? No Basic checks!" a passenger named Satish Kumar tweeted.
Another Twitter user Shreya Sinha, too, complained on Twitter, saying, "most horrifying experience with @GoFirstairways 5:35 am Boarded the bus for aircraft 6:30 am Still in bus stuffed with over 50 passengers, driver stopped the bus after being forced. Flight G8 116 takes off, leaving 50+ passengers. Heights of negligence! @DGCAIndia".
