An airport official told ANI that the travel agent, who booked the tickets for about 30 people in a group, had not informed them about the change in flight timings
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has ordered a probe into how a Singapore-bound flight took off hours ahead of schedule, leaving behind 35 passengers at the Amritsar airport.
The probe was initiated by the aviation regulatory authority after a Scoot Airline flight which was originally scheduled to depart at 7.55 pm on Wednesday from the Amritsar Airport took off at 3 pm, hours ahead of its departure time.
This triggered chaos at the airport with angry passengers who were left behind staging a protest. They registered their complaint with authorities concerned at the airport.
After Airport authorities contacted the airline officials, they were informed that the passengers were informed about the change in flight time via e-mail.
