MUMBAI: Incidents of passenger misbehaviour, such as passenger smoking in a lavatory or a passenger urinating in an aircraft cabin should be reported by the airline concerned to the aviation regulator and not doing so could lead to a financial penalty.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) on Tuesday imposed a fine of Rs 10 lakh on Air India for not reporting such an incident that occured onboard its December 6 Paris to Delhi flight.
Last week, the DGCA had imposed a fine of Rs 30 lakh on Air India for the November 26 incident onboard its New York to Delhi flight in which an intoxicated male passenger allegedly urinated on a female passenger, an elderly woman seated in the business class seat.
