DGCA fines Go First Rs 10L for leaving behind 55 passengers in Bengaluru airport
The country’s civil aviation regulator on Friday slapped a penalty of Rs 10 lakh on Go First airline for leaving behind 55 passengers in a coach at Bengaluru airport after finding inadequacies in its operations.
The action against Go First comes days after the DGCA imposed penalties on Air India twice — for Rs 30 lakh and Rs 10 lakh — for not handling incidents of passenger misbehaviour on flights.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) took the action after examining the response submitted by the airline on January 25 to a show cause notice issued to its Accountable Manager on January 10.
