Air India faced criticism on Thursday, January 5 from the country's aviation regulator for its handling of an unruly passenger on a flight from New York in November, and also acknowledged that a second similar incident occurred last month on a flight from Paris to New Delhi.
Air India had said in a statement that it had banned a male passenger for 30 days in compliance with regulations following an incident on a November 26 flight from New York to New Delhi in which the man, while apparently inebriated, urinated on a female fellow passenger.
The airline, which is owned by Tata Group, said it had reported the matter to the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), India's air safety watchdog, for further action.
The Department of Justice doubled down on its decision to not release the audio files of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur to House Republicans, stating that Republicans have not established a legitimate legislative purpose for demanding these recordings, in a new letter obtained by CNN.
