The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Friday imposed a Rs 10-lakh fine on Go First for leaving behind 55 Delhi-bound passengers at Bengaluru airport on January 9.
This is the third case of an airline getting penalised for lapses. The DGCA had issued a show-cause notice to Go First following the incident. 
"Go First’s reply reveals that there was improper communication, coordination between terminal coordinator, commercial staff and crew regarding boarding of passengers in the aircraft.
