BENGALURU: One hundred and seventy seven passengers, including five infants, on board a Patna-bound GoAir flight (G8 373), which left the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) on Tuesday at 9.20am, were stranded for hours after it was diverted to Ranchi airport due to a technical glitch.
After sourcing spare parts from New Delhi and Mumbai, the aircraft departed for its original destination at 8pm, almost eight hours after its arrival time at Patna.
Passengers take to Twitter
“@goairlinesindia pathetic service, I was supposed to reach Patna by 12 but flight G8 373 was diverted to Ranchi. Also they don’t have a confirmation that at what exact time they will take off, I have to travel further to Muzaffarpur, don’t know how I will manage…,” tweeted Surbhi Subha, a passenger.
