I would like to submit a complaint about my appalling experience travelling with on Air India Business
Class Flight AI102, Seat 9A, from JFK to New Delhi on 26 November 2022. During the course of the
flight, shortly after lunch was served and the lights were switched off, a male business class passenger
seated in 8A walked to my seat, completely inebriated, He unzipped his pants and urinated on me and kept
standing there until the person sitting next to me tapped him and told him to go back to his seat, at which
point he staggered back to his seat. I immediately got up to notify the stewardess of what had happened.
My clothes, shoes and bag were Soaked in urine. The bag contained my passport, travel documents and
currency. The flight staff refused to touch them, sprayed my bag and shoes with disinfectant, and took me
to the bathroom and gave me a set of airline pyjamas and socks. I asked the staff for a change of seat, but
was told that no other seats were available. However, another business class passenger who had witnessed
my plight and was advocating for me pointed out that there were seats available in first class. The thight
crew told me that the pilot had vetoed giving me a seat in first class. After I had been standing for 20
minutes, one of the senior flight staff offered me the small erew seat used by the airline staff, where I sat
for about 2 hours, I was then asked to retum to the initial soiled seat. Although the staff had spread sheets
on the seat, the area was still damp and reeking of urine and I refused to sit there. I was then given the
steward seat for the rest of the joumey. In the meantime one of the senior flight stat came to me and asked
me how I wanted to handle the situation. I told them that I wanted the man arrested immediately by the
airport police. They asked me if I would like talk to the ground staff and I told them that I most certainly
would.
The flight staff were in the meanwhile also having discussions with the offender, who was sobering up by
this time, and they came and told me that he wanted to apologize to me. I stated clearly that I did not want
to mteract with him or see his face, that aldwanted was for him to be arrsted rvalwvr,the
crew brought the offender before me against my wishes, and we were made to sit opposite each other in the
crew seats. I was stunned when he started eying and profusely apologizing to me, begging me not to lodge
a complaint against him because he is a family man and did not want his wife and child to be affected bs
this incident. In my already distraught state, I was further disoriented by being made to confront and
negotiate with the perpetrator of the horrific incident in close quarters, I told him that his actions were
inexcusable, but in the face of his pleading and begging in Iront of me, and my own shock and trauma, I
found it difficult to insist on his arrest or to press charges against him
I demanded from the airline staff that Air India reimburse for me for my shoes and clothes but they said
they had nothing to do with this and the man in question should pay me for that and dry clean by shoes and
clothes. They got my phone number which they later passed on to the offender for payment for my shoes
and dry cleaning (I subsequently returned the payment as I did not want to take his money).
