Mumbai: A number of passengers of Delhi-Mumbai GoAir Flight G8-338 walked across the tarmac from the aircraft to the terminal building on landing in Mumbai on Wednesday, as the airline coach was not available even 20 minutes after the flight had landed.
While the passengers claimed that they were led by GoAir staff, a spokesman of the airline said that after the first coach left with some passengers, subsequent coaches were delayed on account of aircraft movement on the tarmac, and some passengers who did not want to wait, began making their way to the terminal.
"Following a delay in the arrival of coaches, some unruly passengers forcefully began walking and roughed up our staff who tried to prevent them to ensure compliance of airport safety regulations," the spokesperson said.
The passengers walked to the closest entry point of the airport building and ended up at Terminal 1B which caters to Indigo, Spicejet and Jet Airways, instead of Terminal 1A used by GoAir, where their baggage would arrive.
