Woman "forced to urinate" on plane's floor after being denied to use restroom by crew members

Last November, a man in an inebriated condition urinated on a woman co-passenger onboard an Air India flight from New York to Delhi, causing a huge controversy in India. A similar incident happened in June this year on another Air India flight. Now, a similar case of a passenger urinating mid-air has come to light, but in the US.

As reported, the incident happened on a US-based Spirit Airlines flight. According to a report from View From The Wing, a woman claimed she was "forced to urinate" on plane's floor after being denied access to the plane's restroom for several hours by the airline staff.

Shockingly, a cabin crew member recorded a video of the incident, further compounding the humiliation. The video, shared on social media, sparked outrage among viewers, who found the situation "disgusting" and a sign of "civilizational decadence." The woman can be seen in the clip squatting on the airplane's floor, engaging in a heated argument with the crew members, who allegedly told her to drink water to mask the smell of her urine.


The airline has not yet commented on the matter.

This is not the first instance of such deplorable behaviour on a flight. In 2018, a Wizz Air passenger resorted to urinating on the plane's floor after being informed that she couldn't use the lavatory during refuelling. The woman claimed she was left with no option but to use the galley area, typically reserved for food preparation.

Unruly behaviour on flights has increased in recent times. Incidents of passengers deliberately opening emergency exit doors are becoming more frequent. Last year, an Indian airline was under the scanner for abandoning passengers at airports. There were several instances of unruly passengers assaulting crew members as well. For instance, in April this year, Air India's London bound flight returned to Delhi after an unruly passenger hit two crew members.
