A New Zealand airline passenger, inebriated, joined the ‘vile’ high club by urinating in the aisle of an airplane during mid-flight, shocking fellow travelers.
On Monday, while on a Jetstar flight from Auckland to Singapore, the man relieved himself in the aisle approximately six hours into the 11-hour journey.
According to passenger Amos Chapple, he first heard the sound of water running and other passengers confronting the man before witnessing the individual “waving back and forth” as he answered nature’s call.
Chapple noted that both the man and his companion appeared “catatonic” after consuming whiskey prior to take-off.
He described how the man ended up soaking a male passenger’s leg and a woman’s scarf, then gradually becoming aware of his inappropriate behavior, at which point he “pulled up…and wobbled back to the other end of the plane.”
Flight attendants, according to Mr. Chapple, cautioned the man regarding his conduct; however, he criticized Jetstar for their lack of decisive action.
Jetstar acknowledged the incident involving the drunken passenger’s inappropriate behavior but asserted that police involvement was unnecessary after the man had been warned and had his alcohol taken away.
An airline spokeswoman stated, “We issued our final warning…if you don’t behave after the warning, then it becomes a matter for federal police.”
