Answer: It is because of inertia of rest.
Explanation: This is an application of inertia of rest. Initially the passengers are in state of rest along with the bus. When the airplane suddenly starts the feet of the passengers begin to move along with the airplane, but their upper part of the body remains in the state of rest due to inertia. Hence they fall backwards.
