Air India was fined Rs 10 lakh for the pee gate problem

New Delhi:

Air India was fined Rs 10 lakh by aviation regulator DGCA for failing to report the incident last month when a man allegedly peed on the blanket on a woman’s empty seat on a Paris-Delhi flight.

The Directorate General of Civil Aviation, or DGCA, said the Tata-run airline was late in referring the December 6 incident to its internal committee.

This is the second incident of a man urinating in the passenger seat on an Air India flight, after another man allegedly peed on a female companion on a New York-Delhi flight on November 26

Air India did not report the incidents to the aviation regulator before they appeared in the media.

The DGCA was only notified of the December 6 incident after asking for details from Air India.

Air India “did not report the incident until the DGCA sought its case report on May 1, 2023,” the DGCA said in a statement.

The airline’s response made it clear that it was not following “the provisions regarding the handling of unruly passengers under the DGCA,” the statement said.
