When traveling by air, despite many innovations in recent years, some things remain cumbersome and tedious. Check-in, security checks, waiting at the gate, and bus shuttle which takes you to the plane, should it be in another area of the runway.
Imagine having to go through the whole process to leave, getting on the shuttle bus with your trolley waiting for the driver to take you to the plane and suddenly see your plane take off in front of your eyes.
This is exactly what happened in Bangalore in India where the Indian low-cost carrier Go First has literally Forgot to board 55 passengers Waiting patiently inside the shuttle leading to the plane!

A story bizarre which has the unbelievable, the flight left on time but arrived 29 minutes late. delay, the director blames the airline's "failure to properly communicate, coordinate and confirm".
Incredible that although the crew and controllers definitely had the passenger list they did not notice the discrepancy between the people on board and the passenger list. Were it 3, 4 or 10 passengers the oversight actually with some effort can also be understood but 55 passengers it is hard not to notice them.
Also because the plane was an Airbus A320 that has a capacity of 140 to 170 passengers, which means leaving the 30% Of the passengers, basically a third of the plane was empty!
The unfortunate 55 were diverted to a 10 a.m. flight to Delhi, accumulating a delay of 4 hours Than the schedule, which history...
