Video of Water Leaking from Overhead Panel on Air India Flight Goes Viral, Airline Clarifies

Passengers of an Air India flight going Amritsar from London on November 24 saw water leaking from the overhead hand baggage storage. Air India in a statement said it “regrets this unexpected incident”.

A video of the incident going viral on social media shows water leaking from the panel gaps of the overhead compartments. The affected seats can, however, be seen vacant.

A man posted a video on microblogging platform X and wrote, “Air India …. fly with us – it’s not a trip … it’s an immersive experience.”

Air India in a statement said flight AI169 flying from Gatwick to Amritsar on November 24 had developed “a rare occurrence of condensation adjustment inside the cabin.”

Air India added that it moved the passengers from the affected rows to other vacant seats, and the crew made every effort to make them comfortable given the circumstances.
