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.
