Ruckus after two flights cancelled

Nearly 300 passengers of GoAir had a tough time after the airline cancelled two flights due to a technical snag on Wednesday morning.

Following this, the passengers created a ruckus at the airport here, a source said.

GoAir confirmed the cancellation of its Bengaluru and Kochi flights from Mumbai due to a snag in the aircraft, but added that while some passengers were accommodated on other flights, others were given various options, including travel on later flights.

“Approximately, 15 to 18 passengers from each flight had to wait for a long time to get confirmation for the next GoAir flight and/or other airline flights, resulting in a ruckus near the check-in counters,” a source said.

“On the morning of July 26, one aircraft developed a technical snag, leading to the cancellations of two GoAir flights — G8 317 from Mumbai to Bengaluru and G8 347 from Mumbai to Kochi,” a GoAir statement read.
