New Delhi: 44 days after a passenger allegedly urinated on an elderly woman onboard an Air India New York-Delhi flight, Tata Sons chairman N Chandrasekaran broke his silence on the incident.

On 8 January 2022, Chandrasekaran said, “The incident on Air India flight Al102 on November 26th, 2022, has been a matter of personal anguish to me and my colleagues at Air India.”

“We fell short of addressing this situation the way it should’ve been,” he said in a statement.

“The Tata Group and Air India stand by the safety and well-being of our passengers and crew with full conviction. We will review and repair every process to prevent or address any incidents of such unruly nature,” the Tata Sons chairman added.

On 26 November 2022, a drunk male passenger allegedly flashed and urinated on a 72-year-old woman.

Air India reported the matter to the police only this month after the incident became public. The drunk passenger identified as 34-year-old Shankar Mishra was arrested by the Delhi Police from Bengaluru on 7 January 2023.
