Drunk man urinated on a woman passenger in the business class of an Air India flight in November. At that time, no action was taken against him and he left. After many weeks of the incident, Air India has recommended that the unruly flier be placed on the no-fly list.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has given a report from the airline. “We shall take action against those found negligent,” said the regulator. On 26 November 2022, the drunk passenger allegedly unzipped and urinated on a co-passenger in her 70s in the business class of an Air India flight from New York to Delhi.
As the lights were dimmed after the lunch, some of them realised what was happening. After urinating, the man allegedly didn’t move until another passenger asked him to leave. The woman immediately complained to the crew and told them her clothes, shoes and bag were soaked in urine. The crew immediately gave her clothes and slippers and told her to return to her seat.
Disappointed at the airline’s handling of the incident, the woman wrote to Mr Chandrasekaran the next day describing what she called the “most traumatic flight I have ever experienced”.”I am writing to express my deep disappointment regarding the appalling incident that occurred during my business class trip on flight AI102 (commencing in NY, JFK yesterday 26th November at 12.30 pm, and arriving this afternoon in New Delhi Indira Gandhi International Airport at approximately 1.30 pm). This has been the most traumatic flight that I have ever experienced. During the course of the flight, shortly after lunch was served and the lights were switched off, I was getting ready to sleep, and another passenger walked to my seat completely inebriated. He unzipped his pants, relieved himself, and continued to expose me to his private parts. The passenger sitting next to me asked him to return to his seat. He did not respond immediately, but after a few moments left the area,” she said in the letter.
