BREAKING NEWS LIVE UPDATES - 24 January 2023: Air India Reviews in-flight Alcohol Policy After Pee-gate, Says ‘Adjustments Made for Better Clarity’

Air India on Tuesday said it has reviewed its alcohol policy following the row over the urination incident on its New York-New Delhi flight in November last year.

Tata Group-owned Air India CEO Campbell Wilson had earlier this month stated that the company is reviewing its policy of serving alcohol on flights. The airline is reviewing “policy on service of alcohol in flight,” he had said without elaborating.

In a statement issued by an Air India spokesperson on Tuesday, it stated its existing in-flight alcohol service policy was reviewed by “taking reference from other carriers’ practice and input from the US National Restaurants Association’s guidelines."

It noted that while Air India’s alcohol policy was found to be largely in line with existing practice, “some adjustments have been made for better clarity and NRA’s Traffic Light system" were included to help “crew recognise and manage possible cases of intoxication."

The new policy has now been promulgated to the crew and included in the training curriculum, the statement read.
