Singapore-bound flight takes off without 35 passengers, DGCA orders probe

More than 30 passengers missed their Scoot flight that took off from Amritsar to Singapore on Wednesday and aviation regulator DGCA has sought a report from the airline on the incident, officials said on Thursday.

A senior official at Amritsar airport said there were around 300 passengers for the flight and around 30-32 passengers could not board the flight.

The flight, which was to depart at around 8 pm, was rescheduled to about 4 pm. As per the airline, the change in timing was informed to the passengers and travel agents but apparently, it seems a particular travel agent did not inform the passengers concerned, the official said.
