A golden bathe isn’t my factor, however actually not on a longhaul flight to New York courtesy of an inebriated seatmate. One poor lady seated in enterprise class was the recipient of 1 after a drunk man allegedly urinated on her.  To make issues worse, Air India flight attendants failed to carry the person accountable and he walked off the flight with out being arrested.

Air India Horror Flight: Drunk Man Urinates On Girl, Crew Let Him Off Aircraft With out Calling Authorities

Let’s recap what occurred, in response to The Occasions of India:

• The alleged incident occurred on November 26, 2022 onboard Air India 777-300ER flight AI102 touring from New York (JFK) to Delhi (DEL)
• A 70-year-old passenger seated in enterprise class claims that after the meal service, a person “walked to my seat, utterly inebriated. He unzipped his pants, relieved himself and continued to reveal me to his non-public elements.”
• The person continued to face in entrance of the girl along with his trousers pulled down till one other passenger stood up and advised the person to go away
• The girl discovered herself, in addition to her bag and seat, soaked in urine
• By this time, flight attendants confirmed up and sprayed the girl’s bag and footwear with disinfectant
• She was additionally moved to a crew seat, however compelled to return to her authentic seat after an hour
  • There have been firstclass seats purportedly open, however she was not supplied an improve
  • A sheet was positioned over her seat, nevertheless it nonetheless reeked of urine
• Flight attendants additionally gave her pajamas, which she became whereas cleansing up within the bathroom
• Alarmingly, Air India did nothing to punish the person – he walked off the flight with out being detained
• A wheelchair was ordered for the girl in order that she could possibly be pushed to the entrance of the passport management line, however that didn’t work (and facet word, when everyone seems to be handicapped, nobody is handicapped…)
• Solely after sending a letter to the Tata Chairman did the girl obtain an assurance that Air India has reported the incident to police and regulatory authorities, although it isn’t even clear what they may do at this level

I don’t care when you simply innocently had a can of beer with dinner and that was sufficient to make you sloshed.

My recommendation to the girl: an enormous civil lawsuit filed within the USA in opposition to Air India and the John Doe passenger. I’m sensing themes of negligence right here, to not point out a wanton failure to offer a protected and safe surroundings onboard (keep in mind, we’re continually reminded by flight attendants that “we’re primarily right here to your security”). In fact the urination from Prince Charming constituted assault.

It’s a horrible story, however am I the one one who finds the worst a part of the story that the crew didn’t cease this fool from leaving the airplane? Definitely, he must be banned from future Air India flights however he have to be held accountable for his actions. There isn’t a different means ahead.

CONCLUSION

As if we would have liked another excuse to not fly Air India, a passenger actually pulled down his pants and urinated on a senior citizen in enterprise class on a longhaul flight to New Delhi. I hope the girl can observe down the person and maintain him (and Air India) accountable for what occurred onboard.
