An Air India passenger allegedly urinated on a fellow traveller during a flight from Delhi to Bangkok on Wednesday, PTI reported, quoting sources. The airline has informed India’s aviation regulator, the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA), about the incident.

Civil Aviation Minister K Rammohan Naidu told reporters that the ministry will look into the matter and speak with the airline. “If there is any wrongdoing, we will take necessary action,” he said during an event in the national capital.

According to a statement given to ANI, an Air India spokesperson confirmed that the incident took place on flight AI2336 from Delhi to Bangkok on 9 April 2025.


“Air India confirms that an incident of unruly passenger behaviour was reported to the cabin crew... The crew followed all laid down procedures, and the matter has been reported to the authorities,” the spokesperson said.

The airline added that in addition to issuing a warning to the accused passenger, the crew offered assistance to the affected co-passenger to raise a grievance with the authorities in Bangkok, but the offer was declined at the time.

Air India also mentioned that its Independent Committee will meet to assess the incident and decide if further action should be taken against the unruly traveller. The airline stressed that it continues to follow all Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as laid out by the DGCA in such cases.
