A Mumbai-bound Go First flight departed from Mangaluru International Airport (MIA) in the early hours on Wednesday, after a delay of over 14 hours due to technical problems.
Go First flight (G8 374) which was scheduled to depart from the airport on Tuesday at 11.30 am, left the airport at 1.45 am on Wednesday. “But for passengers, who were forced to check-in at the airport before 9 am, it was a 16-hour wait,” a passenger told DH.
Passengers hoping to reach Mumbai early were informed that the aircraft was in need of ‘Aircraft on Ground’ (aircraft cannot fly due to technical problems) services. Passengers complained that they were not informed that the technical problems will result in multi-hour delay.
