Passengers stuck on runway as their flight takes off without them

CNN) — A group of passengers at India's Bengaluru airport experienced a particular kind of flight envy as they watched their own plane take off without them.
The 55 passengers were still on a shuttle bus out to the plane, boarding passes in hand, when the Go First flight to New Delhi departed.

In a statement to CNN, Go First acknowledged the incident, which took place on January 9.
"We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused to the passengers due to an inadvertent oversight in the reconciliation of flight G8 116, from Bengaluru to Delhi," said a spokesperson for the airline, which operates domestic flights in India. "Passengers were accommodated on alternate airlines to Delhi and onward to other destinations."

Haha hii inaweza uma sana ukiwatch your flight leaving your sorry ass behind.
But who knows, maybe a flight ramp or even runway needed to be cleared to usher in other flights ama ni @QuadroK4000 wa ndege aliambia pilot "Iko setee kaderee, nayoo nayoo"!.. Followed by a loud whistle

50 people isn’t an oversight, it’s a huge lapse from so many stakeholders .

I know pilots receive passenger manifest that shows total number of guys on board. Makosa hapa ni the flight attendants

I suspect overbooking.

Yes they’re the last point of contact. I used to see them do a head count back in the days .
One passenger or two can be understood 50.
No communication at all

I suspect overbooking.

Overbooking is stopped at the time of Check-in but it’s a fair observation. Maybe their systems had an error .

I suspect overbooking.

Hapo ni negligence. Hata kama kuna overbooking, 50 is alot
