Private carrier IndiGo on Tuesday said its passengers on a Chennai bound flight from Karnataka capital Bengaluru were offboarded and put on different planes because of a “lack of time” issue. This comes after several media reports that the airline “tricked” the passengers off the plane as it did not want to fly with only eight on board.
The flight 6E 478, came in from Amritsar to Bengaluru on Sunday and was supposed to go on to Chennai, however, with only eight passengers for the Chennai leg of the flight, staffers reportedly called the flyers and told them there was another flight ready to depart to the Tamil Nadu capital. However, the eight passengers were kept overnight and only flown to their destination on Monday morning.
