Another user called out the management and said, “Dear @TataCompanies: JRD Tata once set standards for the aviation industry. He built #AirIndia into a globally respected brand, before Govt took it over. Now that you’re back as owners, hitting new lows? Is there no corporate oversight? How do you manage #PeeGate, and now this.”

Air India has been under scrutiny over the urination case that occurred on a New York to New Delhi flight. An inebriated man reportedly exposed himself and urinated on a 70-year-old woman and the airline allowed him to walk free. The female passenger wrote a letter to the authorities the next day after which the airline started to take action. The unruly man was also let go by his employer Wells Fargo. Air India has been asked by the Directorate-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) to submit a report on the incident.
