    What's the story

    A Delhi-bound Go First plane took off from the Bengaluru airport on Monday, allegedly leaving behind over 50 passengers waiting in a shuttle bus.

    The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has sought a report from the airline regarding the incident.

    Some of the aggrieved passengers took to social media to share their ordeal. The airline refused to comment on the incident.

    Turn of events

    Passengers were accommodated on an alternative flight 4 hours later

    According to the passengers, they had their boarding passes and checked in their luggage, and were waiting on the bus to board the plane.

    However, flight G8 116 onboarded the passengers of three out of four buses and departed at 6:40 am, leaving the rest of the travelers behind.

    The passengers were accommodated on an alternative Air India flight to Delhi four hours later.

    Tweet

    DGCA took notice following tweets of passengers

    The irate fliers tweeted about the incident, tagging Civil Aviation Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

    They questioned the efficacy of the airline's operations, with one passenger asking if it was "operating in sleep" without any basic checks.

    Go First replied to one of the passengers' tweets, saying, "We regret the inconvenience caused," but hasn't put out an official statement.
