The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has sought a report from GoFirst airline after the Delhi-Bengaluru flight forgot to board over 50 people from Bengaluru’s Kempegowda International Airport on January 9. The incident was reported after flight number G8 116 took off for Delhi from Bengaluru airport around 6.30 am on Monday.

However, the airline has not put out an official statement regarding the matter and a response from them is awaited after the huge blunder happened leaving passengers annoyed.

Passengers slam the airlines

Slamming the airlines for negligence, a passenger took to Twitter and wrote, “Most horrifying experience with GoFirst airways, 5:35 am boarded the bus for the 6:30 am flight. Still in a bus stuffed with over 50 passengers, the driver stopped the bus after being forced. Flight G8 116 takes off, leaving 50+ passengers. Heights of negligence!”
