Directorate General of Civil Aviation, often known as DGCA, declared today that it is "looking into the incident."Aviation regulator DGCA has requested a report from Go First Airways after a flight left Bengaluru with more than 50 passengers left in a bus on the airport.
After numerous passengers criticised the airline on Twitter and called it a "most frightening experience," the DGCA, or Directorate General of Civil Aviation, announced today that it is "looking into the situation."Around 6.30 a.m. on Monday, Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru saw the departure of flight G8 116 bound for Delhi.
Four buses were used to transport passengers to the aircraft. According to complaints posted on Twitter with the hashtags "Go First," "Jyotiraditya Scindia, Civil Aviation Minister," and "Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Office," some 55 passengers were left waiting in one of the vehicles while the Go First plane took off.The travellers had checked their bags and had their boarding cards with them.In response to the tweets, First Airways stated: "We apologise the inconvenience caused."
According to reports, the passengers were accommodated on a flight that took out four hours later, at around 10 a.m. A DGCA official was cited as saying, "We have requested a report from the airline, and suitable action shall be taken.However, the airline has not released a statement regarding what appears to be a major error.
One of the passengers who was kept waiting on the tarmac was Sumit Kumar, a Bengaluru-based employee of Autopact. The option to board an Air India flight at 10:00 a.m. was provided to the passengers, he said.On the bus, there were more than 54 persons. The board was not finished. The flight was at 6:20 in the morning, and they rescheduled us for 10 in the morning," he said
Mr. Kumar claims that their bus was left close to the gate while the other passengers disembarked closer to the aircraft. "The ground crew was confirming that the flight had taken off. The flight would return, they initially said. I skipped my appointments. "This will be my final flight with Go First,"It was described as the "most terrifying experience" in a post by Shreya Sinha. She claimed that the passengers spent an hour in the bus.
Worst experience ever with Go First Airlines 5:35 am At 6:30 a.m., I stepped off the bus and onto the plane. The driver was forced to halt the bus, which was crammed with more than 50 passengers. 50+ passengers are still on board as Flight G8 116 takes off. Height of carelessness, wrote Shreya Sinha on Twitter.
Airlines have been under fire in recent weeks for a variety of violations, keeping the regulator busy with probes. The pilots and crew of an Air India flight from New York to Delhi on November 26 have been placed on administrative leave due to how they handled a drunk passenger peeing on a 70-year-old woman in business class.
After more than a month, the passenger was taken into custody. Air India, which just reported the incident to the authorities last week, acknowledged mistakes. Fights on aeroplanes have also been reported.
