In another flight disaster, a GoFirst flight flew off leaving 54 passengers at Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru. All these people were coming towards the plane by bus. When the airline realised its mistake, the passengers left at the airport were sent to Delhi by another flight after four hours. DGCA has sought a report in this matter. After that action will be taken.

The incident took place around 5:45 am on Monday when the passengers were to board GoFirst flight G8-116 from Bengaluru to Delhi. A total of four buses were sent to take the passengers to the aircraft. The first two buses went ahead.

Passenger Sumit Kumar said that he was on the third bus. The first, second and fourth buses reached the flight. He also said that his friends were also on the fourth bus. One of them called him and said that the plane was about to take off. He started shouting and telling the ground crew that the plane was leaving without them.

The ground staff had no information about this. When they saw their boarding passes, the airport officials were taken aback by the mess. Passengers started questioning them. After this the officials tried to pacify the passengers and took all the 54 passengers out of the departure area.
