MUMBAI: Air India has put its business class passenger Shankar Mishra, who had allegedly urinated on an elderly woman on-board a flight, on no-fly list for a period of four months. Mishra had allegedly urinated on the elderly co-passenger on-board the business class of the Air India flight from New York to Delhi on November 26, 2022.
Air India, in a statement issued on Thursday, said: “An independent three-member internal committee under the chairmanship of a former District Judge has concluded that Shankar Mishra is covered under the definition of ‘unruly passenger’ and is banned from flying for a period of four months as per the relevant provisions of the Civil Aviation Requirements (CAR). The passenger has already been put on the airline’s ‘No Fly List’.”
The woman had sent a complaint to Air India. In a statement issued a fortnight ago, Air India CEO Campbell Wilson had said that on December 10, they formed an internal committee as per the provisions laid down in the CAR on handling unruly passengers on-board flights.
