Tata Group’s Air India said on Tuesday the recent suspension of a pilot’s licence by the aviation regulator was “excessive” after a passenger behaved in an unruly manner onboard one of its flights.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation last week fined the airline 3 million rupees ($36,774) over its handling of the incident on a Nov. 25 flight in which a male passenger, while apparently inebriated, allegedly urinated on a female co-passenger.
