Delhi-bound Go First flight takes off without over 50 passengers in Bengaluru
A Go First airline allegedly left over 50 passengers behind at Bengaluru Airport after taking off without them. Many travelers criticized Go Air on Twitter for leaving passengers on the tarmac.
They claimed that the passengers were left behind when the flight G8 116 took off on Monday at 6:40 a.m. However, the airline requested that people give their information in response to one of the tweets and stated: “We apologise for the inconvenience caused.”
They took go first literally ??
